Beer-Boiled Spiced Shrimp

Wash the shrimp and set aside. Put all the remaining ingredients in a 6-quart stockpot, and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, and then add the shrimp. After the liquid returns to a boil, boil the shrimp for 5-7 minutes until they are pink and firm. Remove the shrimp and let them cool to room temperature or refrigerate. Serve on platters and enjoy.
