Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large gulf shrimp head and tail on, unpeeled
  • 1 lager style bottle of beer
  • 3 tablespoon of creole seasoning
  • ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup of butter
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons of ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 loaf French bread

Instructions

  • Heat large skillet on medium high heat beer for 3 minutes. Beer should be bubbling.
  • Add shrimp, spices, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and garlic and cook over moderately high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cubes of butter, stirring constantly and adding more cubes after each additional cube has melted.
  • Cover the skillet and remove it from the heat. Let sit for 15 minutes so that the shrimp can absorb the flavors and finish cooking, stirring every 5 minutes or so. To serve plate shrimp and pour the sauce over the top. Serve with warm French bread.

Notes

  • Warm the bread and serve heated
  • To emulsify the sauce, be sure to add a little butter at a time while stirring rapidly.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp or they’ll become tough and hard to peel.
