What kind of beer do i use?
Hi Scarlet. I just use a regular or light beer. Nothing with too strong of a flavor. Thanks! -Amy
Sounds great! Should the raw shrimp be peeled and deveined or cooked with the shell on?
Hi Sue. I use uncooked shell on deveined shrimp. -Amy
can you use cooked shrimp since most don’t have flavor
Sorry Sandy. This just works with uncooked shrimp. I think if you used cooked shrimp it would overcook it.
