Dirty Shrimp in Beer Butter Sauce

Just the title makes you want to check this recipe out, doesn't it??

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs. shripm, shelled and deveined
4 TBS butter
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt, to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup beer

DIRECTIONS:

Saute garlic and herbs in butter until garlic is slightly browned. Add shrip, stiring constantly until shrimp are pink and done. Pour in beer, simmer 1 minute more and serve!

VERDICT:

Sure, there are a lot of spices involved, but what could be easier than this recipe? And the flavor is great. Of course I added a bit more red pepper flakes than the recipe called for (and garlic too), but the spicy rich flavor can't be beat. This easy dish is a perfect accompaniment to BBQ season!
