Shrimp Boil With Spicy Butter Sauce

• 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, in their shells
• 1/2 pound unsalted butter
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Wine Recommendation: Pop open a cold beer for this one, or be adventurous and try pairing the spiciness of the shrimp boil with a palate-cleansing, refreshing sparkling wine from California or Australia.
