Report
This 20 minute one-skillet dish features tender shrimp tossed in a spicy Sazon seasoning and beer sauce. Perfect to serve with rice or flatbread for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 6-8 cloves garlic minced
- 3 packets Sazon seasoning like Goya Azafran
- 12 ounce pale lager beer
- 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce If you can find African Peri Peri Sauce, buy it!
- 1 ½ pounds large raw shrimp peeled
- salt and pepper
- Parsley for Garnish
Instructions
- Set a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the onions, stirring regularly.
- Once the onions are soft, add in the Sazon seasoning packets. Mix the seasoning into the onions. Then pour in the beer and hot sauce. Simmer the sauce for 5 to 8 minutes to reduce and thicken.
- Once the sauce has reduced by half, add in the raw shrimp. Stir well and allow the shrimp to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Then remove from heat.
- Serve over rice with a sprinkling of parsley, or with flatbread on the side.
Notes
- Also, try on shrimp tacos, or as a low-carb dish with cauliflower rice.
- Leftover cooked shrimp will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but I recommend enjoying it within a day or so. Reheated shrimp can tend to get a bit rubbery, so reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop low and slow just until warm throughout.
