Gumbo Pot Drunken Shrimp

Recipe Ingredients

3		Pale beer - (12 oz ea)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Minced fresh garlic
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Cold butter - cut tablespoon size
2 1/2 oz	71g	Cajun spice mix
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Medium-sized shrimp with shells
2 tablespoons	30ml	Dried rosemary
		Salt - (optional)

Recipe Instructions

Pour the beer into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, allowing the foam to dissipate. When hot and settled, 10 to 12 minutes, add the garlic, then whisk in the butter chips -- 1 at a time -- and the spice mix until blended.

Add the shrimp, reduce the heat and poach in the sauce, about 4 minutes. Do not boil; keep at a bare simmer. The shrimp stay plump if cooked at a medium-low temperature. Add the rosemary to taste. If the spice mix you use is low in salt, you may need to add a little.

Serve over rice or on its own with a crusty loaf of bread.
