  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning , such as Old Bay
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon , halved crosswise
  • 1.5 pounds fresh shrimp , with shells and tails on

    Combine beer, seafood seasoning, and salt in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium-high heat. Squeeze juice from both lemon halves into the beer mixture and add both rinds to the beer. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and boil for 10 minutes.
