    Any romantic dinner needs to start with a fun appetizer. Boiling the shrimp in beer adds a different flavor to the traditional boiled shrimp. The Red Sauce? Simply THE best I have ever tasted!

    Ingredients

    • FOR BEER BOILED SHRIMP
    • 2 lbs Large Shrimp, unpeeled
    • 2 dried red chili peppers (skins only) or
    • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
    • 3 cans favorite beer
    • 1 1/2 tsp dried tarragon leaves
    • water
    • FOR RED SAUCE
    • 1 btl chili sauce
    • 1/4 tsp grated horseradish*
    • 1 tbl lemon juice
    • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 tsp finely chopped capers (optional)
    • dash garlic powder (optional)
    • dash gumbo file powder
    • dash hot pepper sauce
    • can be adjusted to taste as can all ingredients.
    • optional ingredients are up to you...but I highly recommend them.

    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...
