Pairing Food with Beer # 1 - The 4 Peppers Shrimps sauté

Hi my Homebrewkorea Brothers !

All of us being homebrewers, I guess that we all like to cook.
What about proposing a recipe that we usually like to cook, and then trying to pair it with a beer?
I'm sure we'd all love to hear from your own recipes.

Well, for our first try in this concept, I'd like to offer you one of my family's favorite:

The 4 Peppers Shrimps Sauté
for 4 persons

Ingredients:
- Olive oil
- 1 or 2 peppers of each color (green, yellow, orange, red)
- 40 or more shrimps (depending on your hunger, in my Family, my Dad would eat half of that alone and ask for more :lol: )
- 1/2 a Red onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Ground black pepper

Preparation:
Approx 30~35mn
- Cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds (these stuffs are horrible for digestion).
Cut them in not too thin slices. Do the same for the half onion.
- Cut the shrimps heads and take their shells off (if not already done)
- Chop the garlic thin
- Put the olive oil, peppers slices, onion slices and garlic in the pan.
Let it caramelize at low fire until the taste turns a bit sweet.
- Spread ground pepper on it (to your taste)
- Add the shrimps, let it cook until the shrimps are done (tender)

Serve with some bread aside, chopsticks or a fork, and a beer...

But which ?

Sounds good Kevin. I voted for a Pale Ale, but it was a hard choice between that and a Wheat. I think either one would be a good match with the shrimp. If it were slightly spicy, my choice would definitely slide towards the Pale Ale.

A wheat would sound nice for the task !

You can pick several choices :p
It's an open poll with multiple options.

You can even come back on your decision !

I voted for dark lager. (Like the one I'm drinking now). Lager and spicy foods are known to go well, but this dark lager has so much more going on.

I do have a slight problem with your food suggestion though - quality shrimps in Korea??
There's none to be had within a 100km of here. When I've seen 'em in the big city, they've been exorbitantly priced and don't look so good.

I really need some food suggestions with affordable indigenous ingredients... ;)
