Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup beer (light lager or pale ale)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 12 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the shrimp.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your broiler to high.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and thread them onto skewers, piercing through both the tail and the thicker end so they lie flat on the skewer.
Discard the remaining marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill or on a baking sheet if broiling.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. If broiling, position the skewers about 4-6 inches from the heat source.
Remove from the heat and let rest for a minute before serving.
Serve hot as an appetizer, side dish, or main course with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or salad.
