Guinness Grilled Shrimp and Rice

I’m cheating a little today. This recipe is somewhat of a repost. I know there are a lot of folks coming around that are seeking Irish recipes for the month and I wanted to bring this one forward.

The Guinness Grilled Shrimp was an entry into a contest called “Get Your Chef On” and for me it was a lot of fun to make….and to eat.

So, I am sharing it again today with a some photos that were not shared before.

You can pair the shrimp with rice. In these photos we used Jasmine. I find Jasmine rice to have a bit better flavor than regular white rice. It is still to ‘white’ for me and I prefer to stick to brown rice when I can. Somehow brown rice just didn’t seem right with this recipe because I am pretty sure my Irish ancestors weren’t eating brown rice.

Shrimp pairs perfectly with steak. In this case we tossed some Guinness into my Skillet Steak.
