How to Make Beer Steamed Shrimp With Tomato Salsa

1. **Make the Salsa:** Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over 2 pounds of chopped tomatoes in a colander and gently toss. Let drain for 10 minutes.
2. **Combine Salsa Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the juice of 1 lime.
3. **Add Tomatoes to Salsa:** Gently toss the salsa ingredients and stir in the drained tomatoes.
4. **Rest the Salsa:** Let the salsa stand at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. **Steam the Shrimp:** In a large pot or steamer, bring 1 cup of beer (light beer recommended) and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning to a boil.
6. **Steam Shrimp:** Place 1 pound of shrimp in a steaming rack above the boiling beer mixture. Cover tightly and steam for 2 minutes.
7. **Finish Steaming:** Stir the shrimp once, then continue steaming until they turn pink, about 1-2 minutes more. Do not overcook!
8. **Prepare for Serving:** Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter.
9. **Adjust Salsa Consistency:** If the salsa is too watery, gently pour off excess liquid.
10. **Combine and Serve:** Add the salsa to the shrimp and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
