INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds peeled raw shrimp
• 1 1/2 cups beer
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons snipped chives
• 2 tablespoons snipped parsley
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• Shredded lettuce
• 2 green onions, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

• Combine all ingredients except lettuce and green onions in a bowl. Refrigerate covered 8 hours or overnight; stir occasionally. Drain; reserve marinade.
• Broil shrimp 4 inches from heat until cooked and tender (about 2 minutes on each side; less time for small shrimp). Do not overcook or shrimp will become tough. Brush occasionally with marinade. Marinade can be heated and served for dipping, if desired.
• Serve shrimp on shredded lettuce or sliced lemons or avocados; sprinkle with chopped green onion.
