I am a day late on everything this week! I only had a couple of suggestions for pairing food with beer, and they all involved cheese in some way. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I actually tried one of the recipes that I was sent, Cheesy Beer Dip.
How about using beer as a marinade? I have marinated pork chops in black ale and cooked potatoes in lager, but one of my favorites is Cerveza Shrimp!
Medium, cleaned raw shrimp
1 bottle of hoppy beer (or cheap Mexican style beer aka Corona
2 limes
4 cloves of garlic
2 tsp cumin
Black Pepper
Salt
Chipotle in Adobo sauce (optional)
Cilantro
Cut up the garlic and put half in large freezer bag with shrimp and the bottle of beer, add salt, pepper, cilantro, cumin and lime juice from one lime.
Let marinade for about 2 hours… more if you want.
With a dash of olive oil, start cooking the remainder of the garlic until soft, on low heat.
Drain some of the liquid (about half the liquid) and pour contents into hot sauté pan.( this is where you would add one diced chipotle and a tsp of adobo sauce from the can into the mix)
Cook until shrimp is cooked through and serve with rice and sliced lime for garnish.
Here is the Recipe for Cheesy Beer Dip
Cheesy Beer Dip
