Recipe View 30 mins Remove the pot from the heat and allow the shrimp to sit in the flavorful beer broth for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they become.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pot while simmering.
Don't discard the leftover beer broth! It's fantastic as a base for seafood soups, stews, or even as a flavorful addition to rice dishes. Freeze it in ice cube trays for easy use.
If you're short on time, you can reduce the sitting time to 15 minutes, but allowing the shrimp to sit longer truly enhances the flavor.
Serve warm with crusty bread for dipping into the delicious beer broth.
