Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp, shells on
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup beer (lager or ale)
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 loaf French bread or crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add olive oil to keep the butter from burning.
Once the butter is melted and hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the Creole seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, beer, and chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a low simmer.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Once the shrimp is cooked, turn off the heat and garnish with green onions.
Serve immediately with fresh French bread or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
