Spicy Cajun Shrimp

¼ tsp. Cayenne

½ tsp. Black pepper

½ tsp. Salt

½ tsp. Dried thyme

1  tsp. Dried basil

½ tsp. Dried oregano

1/3 cup margarine

1 ½ tsp.  Garlic, minced

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 large tomato, diced coarsely

1 lb.  Medium shrimp, raw, thawed, peeled and deveined

¼ cup  beer, at room temperature

3 cups cooked rice

In a small bowl, combine the seasonings. Rinse shrimp and drain well.  In a large skillet over high heat, combine the margarine, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce;  add seasoning mix.  When the margarine is melted, add the tomato, then add the shrimp.  Cook for 2 minutes, stirring evenly.  Add the beer and cover; cook for 1 minute longer.  Remove from heat; serve over rice.  Makes 4 servings.

NOTES:  I double this recipe.  Also, the sauce is so good, I would double the recipe, but use just the 1 lb. of shrimp too.
