Spicy Shrimp and Beer Scampi Sauce

I have wanted to make a scampi sauce for quite awhile but I couldn’t find any recipes I liked. The few that I had found used wine and I am not a wine drinker so the other day when I came across one that used beer, it gave me an idea. I used the recipe’s butter to beer ratio but used my own spice combinations. It is an easy and fast recipe and it has an amazing flavor. This is by far the best scampi sauce I have ever had.
