Shrimp in Beer

4/7/2017

Fresh shrimp is best of course and I recommend a good pilsner for this recipe. Don't worry you won't be using the whole beer so you can drink the rest!
Ingredients

1 tablespoon of light olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 large ripe tomato with the skin and seeds removed and finely chopped
1 cup of beer (preferably pilsner)
1 pound of shrimp with or without heads is up to you
2 tablespoons of chopped flat leaf parsley
Salt

Method

Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil until soft but not colored
Add the tomato and cook for a few minutes until it starts to become liquid
Add the beer and turn the hear up to reduce for about 3 or 4 minutes
Toss in the shrimp and cook ONLY until it starts to become pink and opaque on both sides
Add salt to taste
Stir in the parsley and serve with crusty bread or over pasta.

Delicious with fish or chicken or spooned over cooked veggies. Use a good quality mayo. I use Sir Kensington's, it's rich and creamy and full of flavor, without the acrid aftertaste cheaper mayos can have.
