Instructions

Step 1

Melt 2 tbsp. butter in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, add shrimp and cook, turning once, until just pink, about 2 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Heat remaining butter in skillet. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 6 minutes. Stir in annatto, coriander, cumin, and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beer and bring to a boil; cook, until reduced by half, 8-10 minutes. Stir in hot sauce and cook until sauce is slightly thick, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add reserved shrimp and cook until warmed through, 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges over rice, if you like.
