ingredients
1 1/2 quart water
1/4 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 lemons, cut into thin slices
2 cloves garlic, smashed
5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 bay leaves, crumbled
2 pounds large shrimp, in their shells
1/2 pound butter
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
directions
In a large pot, combine the water, vinegar, lemon slices, garlic, Old Bay Seasoning, peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne, and the bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the pot. Cover and bring back to a boil. Continue boiling, partially covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are just done and they turn pink. Drain.
In a small stainless-steel saucepan, melt the butter. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Worcestershire sauce, the lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of cayenne.
Divide the sauce among individual small bowls. Serve the shrimp with the butter dipping sauce. Let everyone peel their own shrimp.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Overall this was a good recipe but I thought that the butter sauce didn't really need the lemon. Would have preferred it just spicy not also lemony.

I loved it. We had been looking for the recipe forever. Glad we found it.
