Absolutely the very best! Make sure you double this recipe. Everyone loves the dipping sauce! A friend gave it to me years ago, it was from Gourmet magazine.

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp
4 ounces unsalted butter, plus
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup beer, at room temperature
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
lots of crusty French bread

Steps:

Combine mix and store in glass jar, tightly sealed.
In heavy skillet over high heat combine 4 oz.
butter,garlic, worcestershire and seasoning mix.
When butter is melted, add shrimp.
Cook for 2 minutes, shaking pan back and forth.
DON'T STIR!
Add remaining butter, stock and beer.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, shaking the pan.
Remove from heat.
Serve immediately in bowl with lots of french bread to soak up the sauce.
*Shaking the pan in a back and forth motion, along with the additional of the stock helps keep the sauce from separating and having an oil texture.
Stirring doesn't do the same.
