These zesty shrimp are cooked in a beer broth spiked with herbs and cayenne pepper, then given a buttery finish. Serve them with lemon wedges, hot pepper sauce and warm biscuits or crusty bread.

2 tablespoons canola oil
2/3 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 lb. shell-on uncooked large shrimp (21 to 30 count)
2/3 cup lager-style beer
2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter, chilled, cut up

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook and stir green onions 1 minute. Add all remaining ingredients except butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring once.

2. Uncover; add butter 1 piece at a time, stirring until melted before adding the next piece.

"This was a great weeknight recipe. It took less than 15 minutes to prepare and was a flavorful dish for my family to enjoy. Finishing it off with the butter added to the depth of flavor." -Nadine Haywood

I had to improvise. I did not have green onions, or Worcestersire, and I only Irish Ale Beer. So I used:

3 T Veg oil
1 C Onion
2 lbs Shrimp
1 C Irish Ale
2 T A-1 Sauce
1 T Soy Sauce
1 1/2 t. Garlic Salt
1 t Rubbed Thyme
1/2 Dried Oregano
3/8 t Cayenne pepper
3 T Butter

It turned out really good. Especially over long grain wild rice the sauce compliments the rice nicely. - Christina Pierce
