What kind of dish is Garlic Shrimp With Lemon Butter Sauce??

shrimp = ebi 　Whiteleg shrimp = vannamei shrimp

A fragrant grilled shrimp marinated in a garlic and lemon sauce.　This is a garlic shrimp recipe with an appetizing aroma.

With the popularity of Hawaii trips, garlic shrimp has become well established in Japan. The first time I ate it was when I was in college. It was when we went to Universal Studios. I was surprised that there was a dish that contained so many shrimps. I can’t think of a Japanese dish that uses this much shrimp. It is a good memory that I felt very delicious even though I was surprised.

The butter sauce with the fragrant aroma of the shrimp is exquisite, and one of the charms of this dish is eating it with this butter sauce on rice.

The sauce with cajun spice is also delicious, so I always make 2 types.

Shrimp is low in fat and high in protein. Recommended for those who care about their health.

Whiteleg shrimp is called vannamei shrimp in Japan. It is a variety available at any supermarket.

I feel that the shrimp preparation is troublesome, but I also like to work silently. But if you don’t have time or want to make a lot, use peeled shrimp.

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.
