  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Note: This dish is one you make once your guests are there, because you need to serve it immediately… This recipe is great in the cast iron skillet for extra flavor. Your guests will be crowding around and soaking up the juices with the warm bread! A perfect starter for your next party or gathering!
  2. Wash the shrimp, leave the shells on and set aside.
  3. Mix together your spices.
  4. With your pan on medium heat (and your bread warming) add the butter, garlic, W. Sauce, and seasoning mix.
  5. Once the butter is completely melted and the ingredients are well mixed together, add your shrimp. Do not stir, but shake your pan and let cook for about 3 minutes.
  6. Add a couple more pads of butter and the stock and let cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add the beer and let cook for about 1 minute.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately in the cooking pan/skillet along with the bread basket.
