Jumbo shrimps ocean city style!


A sinister looking Tavern, called the Pepper Tavern, tucked under one of the many hotels right in the middle of boardwalk, Ocean city, Maryland. Our off season visit here in some way made us lonesome explorer in the otherwise popular beach destination.
The menu was simple and the choice was easy, Jumbo shrimps platter being the only local choice among the regular chips and burger meals.
According to the woman who runs the place shrimps are steamed in Guinness beer along with other sauces, and served with spicy red pepper dust, lemon wedges and tomato based wasabi dip.
Typically when wine is used in cooking it is a common practice to use the same wine for drinking, so beer goes very well with these shimps.
Wasabi dip is a popular Japanese concoction made with horse radish which has a peculiar sharp taste. It is used along with a huge variety of sushi dishes. The mellow flavor of the fresh shrimps goes very well with this dip.
