Drunk Shrimp Diablo

I have a confession to make.
I’ve been hiding my Instagram account from you under a different name. I changed my Instagram name to The Beeroness last week after I realized that you want to see my life. This is the hang-up for me, the part that’s so hard to wrap my brain around: that invisible people on the other side of the computer actually want to see what my life is like. Sure, it speaks to a hideous level of insecurity on my part, but why wouldn’t I let you in?
After all, you trust me with your Thanksgiving turkey, and to give you a Beer Cheese Dip for your football party, and you even ask my advice on what to do with the remains of the Blueberry Kolsch homebrew that didn’t exactly go as planned.
So why has it taken me so long to show you pictures of my dog, or the behind-the-scenes of my cooking segment on CBS, or that time I stole wood from a construction site to make a prop table? Maybe I still can’t believe that I’m a person that people would want to know about. That you care about me as much as I care about you coming to visit my blog.
After all, you are the reason I’m able to spend my life cooking and drinking beer.
I owe you a lot.

Wow, I really didn’t have to go any further than the title to know that I need this in my life. Triple chili and cayenne…love it!

I love shrimp diablo and the addition of beer, especially and IPA or PA, is taking it to a fantastic level. 🙂

Of course I read this wrong (I’ve been drinking craft beer) and thought you were calling me an evil drunk shrimp! XOGREG

This looks like possibly one of the best pub plate to share with a loaf of sourdough and a lot of IPAs that I’ve seen in a helluva long time.
If you ever get to the Seattle area you’ll need to drop into the Dog & Pony Alehouse in nearby Renton and just enjoy the love of the microbrewery culture that dominates the place. (I’ll buy)

This was SO delicious! I found the Sriracha brand of garlic chili sauce that you used at Target. Could not have been easier or more delicious. And super spicy!

Hi how long did u cook the shrimp for?
Jackie March 4, 2016 um 9:59 am
It depends on how big they are. Usually between 3 and 6 minutes.

I am a new follower to you website and I really enjoy it so far. These shrimp look delicious! I’ll be trying these this weekend for sure!

Thank you Dan!

Wow. I am pretty tough when it comes to spicy food, but this was a bit intense. Very flavorful, but way too hot to eat as a main course. Definitely good as a small bite washed down with cold beer. We will try this again with the hot peppers (all 3 forms) scaled back! Thanks for sharing!

Made this tonight, mixed some Sirracha and sweet chili sauce since I didn’t have Chili garlic sauce and only 1 tablespoons of red chili flakes. Plenty of heat, not a fan of the tomatoes, but will add a couple mushrooms and a little green pepper next time. We ate with beans and Spanish rice and heated tortilla’s Excellent recipe!

You don’t list cherry tomatoes in the ingredient list?
