IPA Pineapple Teriyaki Skewers

Course: Appetizer | Beer Style: IPA

IPA Pineapple Teriyaki Skewers

IPA pineapple teriyaki is a fragrant, flavor-loaded sauce with versatile end uses. In this dish from Chef Chris Perrine, it is applied as a glaze over shrimp and fresh pineapple skewers. The same sauce can serve as a dip for grilled veggies, can be drizzled over seared fish & rice bowls or used as a marinade for pork, beef or chicken. The specific flavor profile of the IPA is to the discretion of the recipe preparer.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger root
  • 3-4 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 6 oz IPA
  • 2 tbsp cold water combined with 1 tbsp cornstarch for a thickening slurry
  • 2 lbs uncooked shrimp, tail on, peeled and deveined
  • ½ fresh pineapple, peeled, core removed, flesh cut into 2 inch cubes

Directions

  1. To prepare the IPA pineapple teriyaki start by bringing the pineapple juice to simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the grated ginger and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Next stir in the dark brown sugar, soy sauce and the IPA of your choice.
  4. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in the slurry to thicken the teriyaki. Set the saucepan aside to cool off the sauce. Transfer to a suitable storage container with an airtight lid once completely cooled off. (The sauce can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
  6. Meanwhile, make the skewers (alternate shrimp and pineapple pieces) and heat the grill.
  7. Brush the IPA pineapple teriyaki over the skewers and grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp are cooked through, transfer the skewers to a platter and brush one more time with the sauce.

Six-Pack Cinnamon Rolls

February 28, 2020

These cinnamon rolls are baked in half-pint, wide-mouth mason jars, creating a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or a fun way to add some character to a beer-tasting brunch. Several beer styles will work well to create a tender, sweet dough. The basic lager is a solid choice, but don’t be afraid to branch out to a brown ale or spiced beer. You’ll need a little patience with these rolls in two ways. First, the dough rests and rises in the refrigerator for 20 to 24 hours. Second, it is a sticky dough, so use generously floured hands and surface to work with it. It’s worth it in the end, I promise!

Braised Pork Shoulder in Adobo with Pickled Vegetables

April 30, 2018

After growing up in the Midwest, where thick and sticky barbecue sauce coats all braised and pulled pork, it was refreshing to learn this less cloying, more umami-driven recipe from chef Carlo Lamagna at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. Tangy adobo is a big flavor, and the pickled vegetables that accompany this dish are used to bring out the vinegar and add some texture to each bite. This dish, inspired by Carlo’s Filipino heritage, is best served family style right out of the Dutch oven with plenty of jasmine rice to go with it. When you pair this dish with an IPA, you help your palate learn how hops and bitterness pair well with a little bit of spice as well as the acidity of a pickling process.
