  1. I loved this one! I added about a tablespoon of minced garlic and it was awesome. Cocktail sauce on the side and my 15 year old ate them up! Great, easy recipe. Thank you!
     
  2. I was very excited about the minimal ingredients, but it didn't turn out so great. Letting the shrimp sit in the beer afterwards rendered them quite overcooked and difficult to peel. Flavor was lacking, though I like my seasoning rather light, so that aspect I could handle. Overall unimpressed.
