KILLER SHRIMP

Steps:

• To make the butter, place the herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and whisk by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and add one-quarter of the butter cubes. Process on high speed, slowly adding the remaining butter cubes one at a time until you can no longer see white pieces of butter.
• To make the shrimp, use a paring knife to make a slit up the back of each shell to faciliate easy peeling and to let the flavor in. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 tablespoons of the Cajun Butter in the hot skillet and allow to melt, being careful not to burn it. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. When they start to turn pink, turn them over and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook. When almost fully cooked through, cover the shrimp with the ale and clam juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Divide into bowls and serve with the baguette.
• note
• The extra Cajun butter can be reserved in a sealed container for future use. The butter goes well with grilled fish or steak.
