Fort Worth Beer Braised Shrimp

Ingredients

• 2 TBS Salted Perfection Fort Worth Select Blend
• 2 lbs Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Lager or Pilsner beer
• 2 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp Sweetener (honey or brown sugar)
• 1 bunch Green onions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. You want a sear, not a steam bath. Toss them in a bowl with the Salted Perfection Fort Worth Select Blend until they are evenly coated.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the minced ginger and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about one minute until they are fragrant.
3. Pour in the beer and stir in your sweetener. Let the liquid bubble vigorously and reduce by about half. We are concentrating those flavors before the shrimp go in.
4. Drop the shrimp into the skillet. Spread them out. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side just until they turn pink and opaque.
5. Remove the pan from the heat immediately so the shrimp stay tender. Garnish with the green onion tops and serve it up.
