Beer Shrimp
Beer and shrimp, sounds good to me! This sounds really good and is on my to do list to make this. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled, tail removed, deveined if you choose
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/3 cup tomato ketchup, OR make from a shorcut
- 1 tablespoon Worcherstershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beer, lager preferred
- 1/4 cup spring onions, chopped, white and green parts
- juice from one lime
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter, add garlic and shrimp and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Using the same pan, add the remaining butter and melt, then add the remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper to taste and mix. Bring to a simmer and add the shrimp back to the pan until heated through.
- Serve with toasted french bread or as is for a great appetizer.
Notes
When I buy shrimp (prawn), they are large, ocean caught using a cast net, very eco friendly but also cost about 220 to 240 Baht per kilo. So at 240 Baht, and for 4 servings, this is about $1.75 per serving, not bad considering large shrimp. If you used small shrimp, the price would be less.
Shortcut: Ketchup.
