Beer-Steamed Shrimp with Garlic Butter

We wanted to cook our shrimp quickly and easily while keeping them moist, briny and tender—and we didn’t want peeling them to be a hassle.

Test Kitchen Discoveries

• If you can find them, use E-Z Peel shrimp; the shells on these shrimp have already been slit open, which makes peeling the cooked shrimp at the table easier.
• This dish makes for messy eating, so serve with plenty of napkins.
• Mild-flavored beers (such as Budweiser) work best here.
