Spicy Beer Boiled Shrimp

Kinda threw this one together on the fly. Had a recipe but did not bother to follow.

Start by sauteing a couple onions and a pound of hot sausage cut into chunks in butter.

Add in Sweet Potatoes and corn on the cob. Both cut into smaller pieces

Pour in 2 bottles of an Ale or other strong flavored beer and add 1/2 a cabbage cut into chunks.

Stir in a tablespoon of Garlic Chile paste, a Tablespoon of Chili Flakes and some Old Bay Seasoning.

When potatoes and Cabbage are tender add one pound of shrimp.

Throw in some lemon wedges and cook till shrimp are done. This won't take long.

Feel free to serve this over rice or with some big wedges of bread to soak up the broth. The end result was a spicy, sweet, citrusy (Is that a word?) broth with loads of fantastic vegetables, tasty sausage and perfect shrimp. Grab a couple extra paper towels and use your fingers to enjoy this meal.
