Preparation

  1. Season the shrimp with salt, lemon juice, chili pepper and garlic. 
  2. Let it marinade for about 30 minutes (If the shrimp is frozen, let them thaw in this marinade).
  3. Place a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the bay leaf and fry the shrimp, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. 
  4. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add the marinade sauce to the skillet together with the beer.
  6. Add the butter and sugar (to remove some of the acidity from the lemon and beer) and let it evaporate a little.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings. 
  8. Drizzle the shrimp with the marinade and sprinkle with coriander before serving.
