 (I said it would taste good; not that it would be good for you!).


 


 In a small bowl combine the seasoning mix ingredients.  Combine 1


 stick of the butter, the garlic, Worcestershire, and seasoning mix in


 a large skillet over high heat.  When the butter is melted, add the


 shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan (versus stirring) in a


 back-and-forth motion.  Add the remaining 5 tbsp butter and the


 stock; cook and shake pan for 2 minutes.  Add the beer and cook and


 shake the pan 1 minute longer. Remove from heat.


 


 Serve immediately in bowls with lots of French bread (use the bread


 to soak up the sauce!).


 Shrimp Stock Place water and shrimp parts in a stock pot or large


 saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then gently simmer at least


 4 hours, preferably 8, replenishing the water as needed to keep about


 1 quart of liquid in the pan. The pot may be uncovered or set a lid


 on it askew. Strain, cool, and refrigerate until ready to use.


 


 If in a hurry, simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Walt MM
