Watch the video to see what I mean. This is a shrimp recipe you do not want to miss out on.
Ingredients
| Shrimps | 1 Kilogram (large about 2 lb with shells and head left in tact but spit the deveined) | |
| Salt | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Oregano | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| Garlic powder | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| Black pepper | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| Onion powder | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| White pepper | 1/16 Teaspoon | |
| Paprika | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| Ground cayenne pepper | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Crushed dried thyme | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| Coarsely ground black pepper | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Dried crushed rosemary | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Fresh minced garlic | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Unsalted butter | 12 Tablespoon | |
| Dark beer | 4 Ounce (or of your choice, I used Abita Turbo Dog) | |
| Worcestershire sauce | 2 Ounce | |
| French bread | 2 (for serving with shrimps) |
Directions
MAKING:
1.Melt the butter into a pot or large skillet, and bring to a simmer on a medium heat.
2.Add in all the seasonings listed above except for the garlic and let simmer for a few minutes.
3.Add in the minced garlic and stir and simmer for about a minute to let the garlic release it's flavor, but be sure not to let the garlic brown or burn.
4.Now add in the 4 oz's of beer and 2 oz's of Worcestershire sauce. Once this returns to a simmer, add in the shrimp and let cook until every shrimp has turned a pink color. Should take no more than 5 minutes, but really depending on how big the shrimp are. Just make sure they are pink. 5.Remove from heat. Place shrimp on a plate and drizzle with some of the remaining sauce that they were cooked in, and save a little for dipping fresh French bread into.
SERVING:
6.Serve and enjoy!
NOTES:
If you prefer you can completely shell, de-head and de-vein the shrimp for this recipe; The results are just as good, but I like the presentation of the shrimp with the heads and shell on.
