Beer Boiled Peel-and-Eat Shrimp

Peel-and-eat shrimp is one of my favorite dishes because it feels decadent and fancy, but is incredibly healthy. Shrimp is low calorie, delicious and full of amazing fats and nutrients. Avoid using Tiger shrimp for this dish, we've found they are difficult to peel once cooked.
