Here is one way Kelly H.

Drunken Prawns

1 pound prawns, medium to large
2 cups dark beer
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
1 tablespoon minced parsley

1. Peel and devein prawns (or omit this step and let guests peel their own when prawns are served). Place in a large pot along with beer, garlic, Tabasco, and parsley.

2. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes or until prawns turn pink. Do not overcook. Serve hot.

NOTES : In this recipe, adapted from a popular happy-hour dish served in New York pubs, medium or jumbo prawns are poached in beer until plump and pink. Serve them steaming hot and let guests peel and eat their own. Serve the hot poaching liquid as a dipping sauce for the prawns.
