Garlic shrimp has become a staple in Japan along with the popularity of Hawaiian travel. I first tried it as a university student at a restaurant at Universal Studios.

I had never seen a dish with so much shrimp before, and even now I can’t think of any other dish that uses so much shrimp.

This innovative dish made a big impact on me and brought back fond memories.

Shrimp is low in fat and high in protein. It’s a delicious dish that’s also healthy.

This recipe uses vannamei shrimp (white leg shrimp), which are easily available at supermarkets.

White leg shrimp are called vannamei shrimp in Japan. This variety is available at any supermarket.

Peeling and preparing shrimp does take some effort, but spending time immersed in the process is part of the joy of cooking. If you’re short on time, don’t hesitate to use pre-shelled shrimp and enjoy this delicious dish with ease!

The best butter sauce arrangement

Garlic Shrimp With Lemon Butter Sauce COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel the Vannamei shrimp. You can cut off the shrimp tails or leave them on, it’s up to your preference.
2. Make an incision on the back of the Vannamei shrimp to remove the black vein (sewata). This process is a bit time-consuming, but it is recommended to do it to remove bitterness and odor.
3. Cut the tail in half. This will prevent oil from splashing during cooking.
4. Rub the Vannamei shrimp with a mixture of potato starch, vinegar, and water.
5. Rinse the Vannamei shrimp under running water and pat dry with paper towels.
6. Roughly chop the garlic.
7. Mix the garlic, salt, olive oil, chili pepper, and lemon juice and marinate the Vannamei shrimp for an hour. (It is also recommended to add cajun spice to the marinade at this time.)
8. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and fry in a frying pan until the garlic is fragrant. Do not discard the marinade as you will use it later.
9. Adjust the heat to avoid burning the garlic and fry until the surface of the Vannamei shrimp becomes crispy.
10. Add the marinade, butter, and white wine.
11. Turn the heat to high and mix everything together.
12. Put on a plate and sprinkle with pepper and parsley.
