One of my Sister's favorite foods is Steamed Shrimp. When we were kids shrimp was cheap and plentiful. Mom served us some sort of fish or seafood every Friday night, and Shrimp night was our favorite! Just a plate of Shrimp , some cocktail sauce and we were in our glory! This is one of our Baltimore traditions, next to the blue crab there's not a seafood treat we like more.
1 bottle (12 oz) beer, allow to go flat
1 Cup white wine vinegar
1 onion sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning
4 teaspoons pickling spice
1 T black peppercorns
5 pounds jumbo to extra jumbo shrimp in their shell
