Shrimp Boil with Spicy Butter Sauce

Big easy cooking does not get any better than this. Here is a great southern style recipe that's a little spicy, and a lot of down home goodness!
Shrimp Recipe from Lobster Gram
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 quarts water
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/2 lemon, cut into thin slices
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne
  • 4 bay leaves, crumbled
  • 2 pounds large shrimp
  • 1/2 pound unsalted butter
  • 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons 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. Then continue boiling, partially covered, until the shrimp are just done, 1 to 2 minutes. 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 salt and 1 teaspoon cayenne. Divide the sauce among four small bowls. Serve the shrimp with the butter dipping sauce
