Directions
- FOR BEER-BOILED SHRIMP
- 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.
- 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.
- FOR RED SAUCE
- Combine all the ingrdients in a small bowl and blend.
