Ingredients

2 lbs shrimp (with shells on)
1 cup water
1 cup white vinegar
1 (12 ounce) can beer (the cheaper the better)
3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (remember these are just guesses...sprinkle till the top of the water is covered with the spices)
3 tablespoons red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons celery seeds

Directions

1

in a deep frying pan or pot add the water, vinegar and beer.
2

Sprinkle old bay, red pepper flakes and celery seed to cover the top of the liquid.
3

when it starts to boil add enough shrimp to cover the top of the water, you don't want to crowd them.
4

boil till the tails start to curl (5 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp, take out when they start to curl or you will over cook them).
5

add water, beer and spices as needed for the next batch, to keep the liquid deep enough for the shrimp to float.
