We definately let the good times roll with this awesome "beer shrimp boil" courtesy of Claire Robinsons' cookbook "5 Ingredient Fix - Easy, Elegant, and Irresistible Recipes" in honor of the Auburn/LSU throwdown!!! This book owns simple and affordable while keeping the ingredients fresh finishing with refined flavor. Did I forget to mention mouthwatering?! In just 5 ingredients Claire reaches BOLD favor that the boys, jonjon and punderwood, devoured before the last "L-S-Who?"



Ingredients:
Three 12-ounce bottles lager beer*

1 cup water

1 tbsp shrimp boil or Creole seasoning*

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp black peppercorns

Juice of 1 lemon, lemon halves reserved

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, heads on and in shell, rinsed well*

Yield: 4 Servings

In a large pot, bring the beer, water, shrimp boil seasoning salt, peppercorns, and the juiced lemon halves to a boil. Allow the mixture to boil, covered, 10 minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice. Add the shrimp after 3 minutes for pink color throughout; with a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and transfer them to a serving bowl or bowls.

Add 1/2 cup of the boiling beer liquid to the butter and simmer 2 minutes.

Serve the warm shrimp with the butter dipping sauce on the side! 5 Ingredient Fix - Easy, Elegant, and Irresistible Recipes, Claire Robinson, Host of 5 Ingredient Fix [October 2010]
