 Ingredients List

  • 2 dz large shrimp with
  • : heads and shells
  • : (about 1 pound)
  • : Seasoning mix
  • 1 ts red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 ts black pepper
  • 1/2 ts salt
  • 1/2 ts crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 ts dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 ts dried rosemary leaves,
  • : crushed
  • 1/2 ts dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 lb plus 5 tb unsalted butter
  • 1-1/2 ts minced garlic
  • 1 ts Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 c shrimp stock (see below)
  • 1/4 beer at room temperature
  • : Shrimp Stock
  • 2 qt cold water
  • 2 lb rinsed shrimp heads
  • : and/or shells
  • Rinse shrimp in cold water and drain well. Pinch off and discard
  • head, but leave as much of the fat in the head attached to the body
  • (I said it would taste good; not that it would be good for you!).
  • In a small bowl combine the seasoning mix ingredients. Combine 1
  • stick of the butter, the garlic, Worcestershire, and seasoning mix in
  • a large skillet over high heat. When the butter is melted, add the
  • shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan (versus stirring) in a
  • back-and-forth motion. Add the remaining 5 tbsp butter and the
  • stock; cook and shake pan for 2 minutes. Add the beer and cook and
  • shake the pan 1 minute longer. Remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately in bowls with lots of French bread (use the bread
  • to soak up the sauce!).
  • Shrimp Stock Place water and shrimp parts in a stock pot or large
  • saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then gently simmer at least
  • 4 hours, preferably 8, replenishing the water as needed to keep about
  • 1 quart of liquid in the pan. The pot may be uncovered or set a lid
  • on it askew. Strain, cool, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • If in a hurry, simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Walt MM
