  • French Dressing
  • Dry Mustard
  • Garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Beer Marinated Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer (lager or pilsner recommended), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and cooked shrimp to the marinade. Ensure all shrimp are fully coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor absorption.
  4. When ready to serve, remove shrimp from the marinade, reserving some marinade for basting if desired.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Optional: Grill the marinated shrimp for a smoky char (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
