Ingredients

1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/3 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 (1-3/4 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)

Directions

Add Worcestershire sauce, beer, garlic, bay leaf, rosemary, Cajun seasoning, pepper and hot sauce to a large sauté pan with a lid and bring up to a boil.

Add the shrimp and lemon wheels, toss to coat, then cover and cook until shrimp are just cooked through, about 3-5 minutes depending on size.

Remove the lid and add the lemon juice, then turn off the heat and add the cubed butter. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the sauce emulsified. Taste for seasoning and add salt and more lemon juice to taste.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with scallions and parsley. Serve with lots of crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.
