Directions

  1. FOR BEER-BOILED SHRIMP
  2. Rinse the shrimp well and drain. Leave the shells on. Put all ingredients, except the shrimp, in a medium size pot. Bring the beer to a boil, but watch it...the beer will foam. If it does, remove from heat and stir the foam down, then return to a boil quickly.
  3. Add shrimp and just enough water to cover. Bring again to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat, cover and allow to rest until the shrimp are completely cool.
  4. FOR RED SAUCE
  5. Combine all the ingrdients in a small bowl and blend.

    OK...I did this again last night. In place of the cayenne pepper, I used fresh ground chipolte pepper. It reduced the heat...but added a very subtle flavor. Nice difference...
