This is not really barbecued, but it’s how they serve it in the Big Easy… and it’s GOOOOOD!

Add beer, Worcestershire Sauce and lemon juice and cook 3-6 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked and the liquid thickens.
Add remaining butter and shake pan until the butter is melted and the mixture creams out.
Garnish with green onions and parsley.
Note: Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will become tough. When they turn pink, they are done.
Serve this with plenty of French bread to sop the da sauce!
