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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add olive oil to keep the butter from burning.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the Creole seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 5

Add the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, beer, and chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a low simmer.

Step 6

Season with kosher salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once the shrimp is cooked, turn off the heat and garnish with green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately with fresh French bread or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
