Simmered Shrimp in Ale with Portuguese spices, a quick and flavorful weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can ale, divided
  • 5 sprigs parsley, stemmed and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons Portuguese hot pepper sauce (pimenta)
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 2 pounds unpeeled large shrimp, deveined
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Sauté onion and garlic until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Add parsley, tomato paste, hot pepper sauce, chicken bouillon, and paprika. Pour in half of the ale and simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Pour the rest of the ale into the skillet and add the shrimp. Season with salt and cook until the shrimp absorbs the liquid and turns pink, which should take 15 to 20 minutes.
