Guinness Grilled Shrimp and Rice

Guinness grilled shrimp and riceI’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.

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.

  1. Oh yum… I love shrimp and Guinness as well! I wish my husband did (We sound like we’re in the same boat, kind of like the tilapia recipe I posted). Oh, well… more for me 😉

    1. That’s how I feel! More for me!! When I make shrimp, the husband usually gets steak. I am not a big steak eater, so its a fair trade for me. Give me seafood any time.

  2. Anything cooked in Guinness is YUM! These shrimp look really good. I could also see them tossed in pasta with a little garlic butter and reduced Guinness.
