BBQ Shrimp

Source of Recipe


From "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible"



List of Ingredients



• 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter
  
• 2 tsp Creole seasoning
  
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
  
• 12 jumbo shrimp, with heads and tails
  
• 1/2 cup lager-style beer
  
• Freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon
  
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  
• 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  






Instructions



1. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat.
   
   
2. Sprinkle the Creole seasoning and cayenne pepper over the shrimp. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 1 minute per side.
   
   
3. Stir in the beer, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Let the sauce bubble vigorously for 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and garnish with parsley. Serve bubbling hot.
