Beer Buttered Shrimp is a tomato based sauce infused with your choice of beer, spices and simmered with shrimp. Serve as an appetizer or over rice as an entree.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a micro grater, grate the garlic directly into the butter. Stir in the paprika and stir until fragrant.
Whisk in the tomato paste until smooth. Add the onion, beer, honey and sea salt. Bring to a low simmer. Continue to simmer until mixture thickens slightly.
Add the shrimp, cooking until the tails curl. This will vary based on the size of your shrimp.
Serve shrimp alone, with slices of crusty bread or over rice. Garnish with fresh lemons or parsley, if desired.

Notes
Alternately, you can make the sauce and add cooked shrimp until just warmed through and coated. I've done this before when bags of cooked and peeled frozen shrimp were on sale.
