Shrimp and Sauce
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or mirin
- Pepper to taste
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce (or mirin), and pepper. Set this flavorful sauce mixture aside for later use.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
- Add Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and stir quickly to mix them evenly with the garlic and butter.
- Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and toss everything together so each shrimp is fully coated with the sauce.
- Cook Shrimp: Stir-fry the shrimp for approximately 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque and the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Optionally drizzle the sesame oil over the cooked shrimp just before serving to add that classic nutty hibachi flavor.
- Serve: Serve the hot Hibachi Shrimp immediately, ideally alongside hibachi-style rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute teriyaki sauce with mirin for a slightly sweeter taste.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on shrimp size to prevent overcooking.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing garlic.
- Optional vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini can be added to the pan for a more substantial dish.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the shrimp at their best texture and flavor.
