Boiled Shrimp

This is a recipe I found in Gourmet magazine, and it's great when you want something different but don't have the time (or energy) to make something after work. Most of the ingredients you probably already have; just make sure to keep frozen shrimp and some good french bread in your house! We also like to add asparagus right at the end, to cook in the liquid.

Seasoning:
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
pinch white pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Mix seasoning together and set aside

1 stick butter
2 lbs shell-on shrimp
1/2 beer
1/4 Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grated garlic

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until foam subsides. Add all remaining ingredients, simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Serve in bowls with French bread for dipping.
