Servings: persons

4 garlic cloves divided
2/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
sea salt
ground black pepper freshly
12 ounces lager beer
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes dried
1 pound large shrimp 21-25 count

1
Finely chop 2 garlic cloves and place in a medium bowl. Smash and peel the other 2 cloves and set aside.
2
Add the ketchup, horseradish, and next 8 ingredients (through mustard powder) to the bowl with the chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour (may be made a day ahead).
3
Fill a bowl or baking dish (large enough to hold the shrimp in a single layer) with ice.
4
Pour the beer into a medium pot and add enough cold water to equal about 1-inch depth. Add the smashed garlic cloves, oregano, and chile flakes to the liquid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (Keep an eye on it-even with water added, the beer may foam and spill over if the pot isn't deep enough.)
5
Add the shrimp and boil until pink, 2-3 minutes, depending on size. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon to the bed of ice and let chill until cold, turning once.
6
To serve, arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter and serve the cocktail sauce in bowls alongside.
