Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup amber beer recommended: Abita*
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning*
- 1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
- Several dashes of hot sauce to taste
- 2 lbs large shrimp 16-20 count or bigger, peeled or unpeeled*
- 1 lemon thinly sliced into rounds plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more to taste)
- 14 tablespoons (1-¾ sticks) unsalted Butter cold, cut into cubes
- salt to taste
- 4 scallions thinly sliced (dark and light green parts only)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- crusty French bread for serving
Notes
- *If avoiding alcohol, replace the beer with shrimp, chicken or vegetable stock (or plain water in a pinch).
- *Use a Cajun or Creole seasoning that's lower in salt in order to avoid and overly salty sauce.
- *Unpeeled head-on shrimp are traditional and will give the best flavor, but peeled shrimp will also work if that's what you prefer. Try to find wild caught American Gulf shrimp for best results.
