James Beard award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi is spending his time in quarantine cooking up some of his go-to comfort foods and helping us all create a perfect food and cocktail pairing while we’re home.
Onwuachi’s restaurant, Washington D.C. hotspot Kith/Kin, which has been closed since March due to the pandemic, offers an eclectic menu that honors his family’s roots in Jamaica, Trinidad, Nigeria, and Louisiana.
The recipe he’s sharing is in keeping with his focus on the flavors of family: a Peel N’ Eat shrimp dish passed down from his mom.
The pairing is part of his ongoing collaboration with Bombay Sapphire’s #FindYourCanvas program, which recently launched Create From Home—an online initiative with Hunker, Society6, Saatchi Art, and Skillshare aimed at inspiring creativity during the quarantine.
If you want to be inspired by Onwuachi’s craft, impress your quarantine bae, or just eat well while you’re staying at home, try his mom’s highly coveted recipe paired with his drink of choice:
