Beer-Steamed Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce
At her new laid-back restaurant, The Backyard at the Hollywood Bowl, Suzanne Goin serves this well-spiced shrimp dish. The recipe comes from her husband, David Lentz, who features it on his menu at The Hungry Cat; he's been cooking it for his family for years. It's easily scaled up to serve even more people.
