Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and stir quickly to mix them evenly with the garlic and butter.
  4. Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and toss everything together so each shrimp is fully coated with the sauce.
  5. Cook Shrimp: Stir-fry the shrimp for approximately 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque and the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
  6. Finish with Sesame Oil: Optionally drizzle the sesame oil over the cooked shrimp just before serving to add that classic nutty hibachi flavor.
  7. 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.
