Marinade
- 6 large cloves of garlic
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 lb raw shrimps, peeled and deveined. Cooked shrimp is optional.
- Salt and pepper
Sauce
- 1 and ½ cups pilsner (I used Saranac Bohemian Pilsner)
- Handful of cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper
Pasta
- 1 box linguine (1 lb)
- 1 and ½ cups grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese. Grated parmesan is optional.
- 1 heaping tbsp of dried basil
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Olive oil, approximately 1/3 cup.
DIRECTIONS
1. Marinade the shrimp: Using a blender or food processor, blend the garlic, oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the shrimp and toss to combine. Place in a resealable plastic bag and marinade in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
2. Once the shrimp is done marinating, boil the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and quickly rinse the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process. Return pasta to the pot but keep off the heat.
3. Prepare the Linguine: Drizzle the 1/3 cup of olive oil on the pasta, add more if desired. Add the grated cheese, basil, zest and juice. Toss to combine, ensure that every strand is covered with cheese. Cover the pasta and set aside.
4. Heat a skillet on medium heat (it should be deep enough to hold the total amount of beer.) Empty the contents of the resealable bag into the skillet and fry until the shrimp is opaque and pink (add the handful of tomatoes 2 minutes before the shrimp is fully cooked).
5. Once the juices in the skillet have mostly evaporated, add the pilsner. Lower the flame to low heat and let the sauce simmer until reduced in half.
6. Add the chopped dill, cilantro and honey into the sauce and stir. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Let simmer for another 2 minutes.
7. Prepare the linguine on a deep dish. Pour the beer sauce all over the pasta and arrange the shrimp as desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
