Peel n’ Eat Shrimp with Homemade Cocktail Sauce

Nothing says summer like Peel n’ Eat Shrimp, and they’re as easy to make as they are fun to eat. Here, I’ve prepared them Maryland-style: simmered in beer and Old Bay with homemade cocktail sauce on the side. To complete the menu, try serving them with crab cakes, and Chesapeake Corn, Tomatoes, and Basil.

Simmered in beer and Old Bay, these Peel n’ Eat Shrimp are as easy to make as they are fun to eat.
