A PINT OF PRAWNS AND GUINNESS CHASER - BRITISH PUB GRUB!

A Pint of Prawns and Guinness Chaser - British Pub Grub! image

Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course - my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick's Day, St George's Day, St David's Day, St Andrew's Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad - if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise.

Yield 2 Pints of Prawns, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

500 g cooked prawns, in shells (shrimp)
2 -3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 red chili
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
lemon wedge, to serve
Guinness stout or ale, of your choice

Steps:

Divide the prawns between two glasses or pint mugs.
Finely mince the garlic cloves. Halve and seed the chilli, then finely chop the chilli flesh. Mix the mayonnaise with the garlic and chilli, and divide between two small dishes.
Serve the prawns with the garlic/chilli mayonnaise and lemon wedges for squeezing over the prawns, and a pint of Guinness or your favourite real ale.
NB: The garlic & chilli mayonnaise also goes brilliantly with any grilled or barbecued fish or seafood. Try it with salmon steaks wrapped in vine leaves or uncooked prawns threaded onto skewers, cooked on the barbecue.

This is the most versatile recipe I've ever seen and I've never had any complaints on any variations! I've given the "generic" recipe here, but substitute whatever you like, or whatever you have available--try using left over meats, as well as fresh. Please enjoy "tweeking" it to meet your own tastes. I've always liked being able to throw this meal together with leftovers and whatever is in my cupborads!
