Wash 2 lbs. of raw shrimp, put them into a saucepan and just barely cover with beer. To the boiling beer, add a bay leaf or two. Cover the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes. Shell and devein the shrimp. Strain the beer; then let it cook down to one half. Melt 3 Tbsp. butter; smooth in 2 Tbsp. flour and then slowly stir in the beer. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of rich milk, plenty of snipped parsley and a scant Tsp. of paprika. Add the shrimp and heat well. Do not boil.
