This is an excellent shrimp dish that must be marinated overnight, so if you need dinner half an hour from now this isn't for you.
2 pounds (900 g) peeled raw shrimp
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces (340 ml) of beer
Tabasco sauce
Salt
Pepper
Butter
Combine onion, garlic, shrimp, and beer in a plastic or glass bowl.
Add as much Tabasco as you'd like (start with 1 tbsp) and some salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and marinate overnight.
Remove shrimp from marinade, and discard marinade.
Melt some butter in a pan and sauté shrimp until pink and done. Don't overcook the shrimp or they'll be rubbery. You can also grill the shrimp.
