Source:

    3 cans  CHEAP beer
    3 cans  water
Boil above 2 ingredients Add spices: 2 T Pickling spice
    1 T  celery seed
    1/2 T  garlic powder
    3 T  old bay
Bring to a boil again Add shrimp all at once. Be sure they are all under in the liquid. They are finished JUST BEFORE liquid returns to a boil--do not go by color This works best when shrimp are frozen. If u use thawed shrimp it is super important to not let them lay in their liquid. KEEP ABOUT 1/4 C OF THE LIQUID YOU USED TO COOK THE SHRIMP FOR MAKING YOUR HOT SAUCE! Drain in colander and cool quickly by layering shrimp with a layer of ice--I use the big pot I cooked the shrimp. BE SURE TO DRAIN OFF WATER OFTEN TIL SHRIMP ARE COOLED COMPLETELY. I PUT THE SHRIMP IN BIG BAGGIES AND STAND THEM UP IN A QT SOUP CONTAINER. CUT OFF A CORNER OF THE BAGGIE SO THE LIQUID DRAINS OFF THE SHRIMP INTO THE SOUP CONTAINER AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MUSHY SHRIMP! I leave the shells on to serve them.
