Ingredients

Scale: 1x
  • 2 pound Shrimp (shell on)
  • 2 stick Butter
  • 2 tablespoon Garlic (finely minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon Thyme (dried)
  • ¼ teaspoon Oregano (dried)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450º
  2. Melt 1 stick of the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the garlic and saute until slightly browned.
  4. Add the fresh herbs and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Deglaze with the beer, reduce by half.

Always preheat your oven and check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
