I made this for dinner one night with rice from a packet and frozen mixed vegetables.  It was a 5 minutes, healthy dinner.  These are delicious as an appetizer as well.  They do have some kick to them, so they would be great with a cooling sauce.

Spicy food always goes greater with IPAs.  The spice and hops balancing well.  One of my all time favorite IPAs, is Dogfish Head’s 90 minute IPA.  Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales is located in Maryland.  This is usually ranked as one of the top American IPAs.  The strongest flavor is definitely the hops, as is with most IPAs.  It’s a very complex flavor with notes of fruit and citrus.  I love this with seafood and of course for the summer.
