I just got this today, have not tried it! It is not HEART HEALTHY! AT ALL! But I'm sure it's really tasty! If I ever make it, I think I'd cut the butter down to one stick (at least)! and the salt down to nothing! one pound of butter seems like an awful lot! also 5 pounds of shrimp for six servings is a lot too! I'd also add a bunch of Old Bay to the mix! can't do boiled shrimp without Old Bay....
[color:"blue"]Beer-Boiled Shrimp[/color] serves 6
INGREDIENTS 1 pound butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 tablespoon salt 5 pounds large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled and deveined 3 (12 fluid ounce) bottles beer
DIRECTIONS Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the salt and shrimp. Pour the beer over the shrimp, and simmer just until the shrimp turn pink. Turn off the heat, and allow the shrimp to sit at least 1/2 hour. Serve while still warm, or refrigerate and reheat before serving.

Brian this sounds delicious! I would not reduce the butter as it doesn't sound like that much with five pounds of shrimp and the butter makes it SOOOOOOO GOOD! A good recipe for a day you want to be naughty!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />

islandgem said: I would not reduce the butter as it doesn't sound like that much with five pounds of shrimp and the butter makes it SOOOOOOO GOOD! It does when you consider it makes the dish 1026 Calories & 68g of fat per serving! That's a lot of calories & fat! and it has 2357mg of sodium to boot! A cinnamon Bun from Cinnabon is only 730 calories with 24g of fat! But you are right! I'm sure it would taste REALLY GOOD!

"Zatarain's Crab and Shrimp Boil"... EXCELLENT!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> It's a New Orleans/Louisiana flavor... while Old Bay is Definately Maryland/Chessepeke Bay (and hotter!)... I do prefer Old Bay... but have used both... I like the Zatarain's better for a "seafood boil" or a gumbo, over a really good wild/brown rice mix... for shrimp or crab alone, It's always Old Bay! especially on "peel your own" shrimp or crab... Burning lips, I love it... just add melted butter, a good baguette and beer! we can get Zatarain's just about anywhere in NY/NJ... I like a lot of their product line... their red beans & rice are really good! Both websites have some excellent recipes... ZATARAIN'S Recipes OLD BAY Recipes I like Old Bay as a dry rub on baby back ribs too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

OK... that's one I have not noticed in NY/NJ area... I'll have to look more closely... although, I do make a good roux... but sometimes you just want something easy...
