Category: Dinner Party, Healthy Recipes, Main Dish

 Ingredients List

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (roughly 1 small onion)
  • 2/3 cup beer
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • Few pinches of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 pound raw shrimp*, peeled, deveined, and patted dry
  • Cooked rice or baked sweet potato, for serving

 Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter until melted. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beer, tomato paste, sweet chili sauce, and cilantro. Bring to a boil. If you want more heat, add a few pinches of cayenne pepper.
3. Once boiling, add the shrimp in a single layer without crowding the pan. Cook for 3 minutes. Flip then cook another 3 minutes or until the shrimp is pink, cooked through, and curled up (you may need to cut a test one since it'll be hard to tell with the sauce). The timing may vary depending on your size of shrimp. Serve on top of rice or baked sweet potato.
