Ingredients

1 12-ounce bottle beer, any type
1 pound large shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon peeled, grated gingerroot
1 tablespoon shopped fresh cilantro leaves, mint or chives
Coarse or kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper

Directions

Bring the beer to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the shrimp, stir, and cook for 2 minutes, or until they just turn pink. Remove from the heat and let the shrimp cool in the beer, stirring or turning often; they will continue to cook in the hot liquid. Once they are cool, remove the shrimp from the beer, using a slotted spoon. Peel and devein the shrimp; return them to the beer and stir for 1 minute to remove any remaining grit. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. (The beer can be strained and added to shrimp or fish stock.) The shrimp can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated. Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the soy sauce, lime juice, Tabasco, tomato and gingerroot. Cook over high heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, to heat through. Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon the cooled sauce over the shrimp and toss to combine. Add the cilantro, mint or chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Wonderful Flavors!!

This recipe was great. The whole mixture of different flavors plus the spiciness of the tabasco just gave it that little kick... to it. It was great as our appetizers. I served them with toasted sourdough bread so it was wonderful. We Loved it! Definitely recomend!Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this with pre-cooked frozen shrimp so we didn't boil them but for a few seconds. However the whole meal was great and... would definitely recommend. Easy and tasty!Read more

Quick and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the fastest recipe I've ever done! It took about 10 min. I ate it while it was hot, I haven't tried it cold as it... says on the title. The ingredients were perfect together and the gigerroot went really well with the lime and mint. Thank you!Read more

Good ingredients
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Love all the ingredients that are called for, but wanted them to be more powerful. Maybe the beer diluted the other flavors... to much. Will try again!Read more
