SPICY DRUNKEN SHRIMP



Spicy Drunken Shrimp image

This is a warm peel-and-eat shrimp recipe that I tried to duplicate from a little bar-and-grill in Deland, Florida. The shrimp are boiled in a spicy beer and thyme broth and served hot in a beer mug. Serve with dipping sauces of lemon-butter and hot sauce. I dip first in lemon-butter and then hot sauce, but you will find what works best for you! You will need plenty of paper towels!

DRUNKEN SHAMELESS SPICY SHRIMP (DINOSAUR BBQ)

John Stage almost always leaves something out in the recipes he publishes so they are just a little off. In this case, I think he just wrote "creole seasoning" when in fact, this stuff tastes most authentic with a spice they sell around here in the restaurant and in stores called "Cajun Foreplay." Use it generously. Either way these are delicious, especially served with Dinosaur BBQ Cocktail Sauce (recipe # 295318). Not for wimps!

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe. Avoid using small shrimp, as they will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • Make sure the shrimp is deveined. Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can give the shrimp a gritty texture. You can devein the shrimp yourself or purchase deveined shrimp from the store.
  • Use a good quality tequila. The tequila you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a tequila that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Spicy Drunken Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.
