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).

  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.
