"Found this shrimp recipe in an ad for Wild American Shrimp. Prep time does not include 1 hour to marinate. Meant to be an appetizer for 4 but could be main dish for 2."

I used a Stout beer and it worked out great! Great flavors with all the spices and shrimp. Loved it!

Excellent tasty Wow recipe - I used a Porter beer, the full amount of garlic - large cloves and did add 1/2 tsp hot chili pepper flakes as well as the hot sauce. This is a keeper. Hot or cold they are Mmm Thanks Little Susie for posting
