Ingredients

For the marinade

½ tsp salt
½ tsp crushed red pepper
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp rosemary
2½ tsp thyme
1½ tsp minced garlic
1 cup warm beer
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

For cooking

1½ sticks of butter
3-4 lbs unpeeled shrimp

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt one stick of butter over medium heat.
Stir in the cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, crushed red pepper, oregano, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

💡 Pro Tip: Be careful not to overcrowd the shrimp; if your skillet is too crowded, consider cooking in batches!
Pour in the shrimp stock and add ½ stick of butter. Cook for another 2 minutes, continuously shaking the pan.
Finally, add the warm beer and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the flavors meld together.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this spicy dish hot with a side of fluffy rice and crusty garlic bread to soak up that delicious sauce. Don't forget some crisp vegetable sticks for a refreshing crunch! 🥕🥖

🌟 For a fun twist, place the skillet on a hot plate in the middle of the table, and let everyone serve themselves! Dipping the bread into the shrimp sauce makes for an interactive and delicious experience.

Variations

Mild Version: Reduce or omit the cayenne and crushed red pepper for a milder dish that's still full of flavor.
Add Veggies: Toss in some bell peppers or zucchini during the last few minutes of cooking for an extra burst of color and nutrition!
Seafood Lover’s Delight: Mix in other seafood like scallops or mussels for a seafood medley that’ll impress your guests. 🦪
Grilled Option: Marinate the shrimp beforehand, then skewer them and grill for a smoky flavor!

Serves 4. Enjoy the kick! 🌶️🍤
