Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp, mix the garlic, sugar, fish sauce and lime zest.
  2. Peel away and discard the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalks, till you reach the tender centers; finely mince these and add to the marinade.
  3. Add shrimp, mix well and allow to stand 30 minutes, refrigerated.
  4. When ready to cook, heat the oil in a wok; when smoking add the shrimps with marinade and cook until they are just pink on both sides (2-3 minutes, stirring all the while.
  5. Add the beer, cover and steam on a high heat for 6-8 minutes (depending on the size of your shrimp).
  6. You probably will have a quantity of liquid remaining in the wok, so remove the shrimps with a slotted spoon.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon or lime halves if desired.
