This is a dish I definitely need some improvement on. It tastes good as it is, but there is a specific taste I'm looking for; Kahuku garlic shrimp from Hawaii. There are several famous food trucks around the North Shore area and I tried one of them (don't remember which) on family vacation about 8 years ago. I fell in love with their literally finger-lickin' good shrimps!! I guess garlic, butter and soy sauce are key ingredients but the recipe to get Kahuku-level of wowness is still under experiment. Here is my latest version of garlic shrimp just for the reference.
Ingredients (serves 4)
500g shrimp/prawn (preferably with shell)
5-6 cloves garlic
2 tbsp. sake
1 tbsp. soy sauce
salt&pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 tbsp. butter
steamed rice
Directions
1. Clean and devein shrimp leaving the shell. Chop garlic finely.
2. Marinate shrimp with sake, soy sauce and salt&pepper and half of the garlic in a Ziploc for 2-3 hrs. in fridge.
3. Combine flour and cayenne pepper. Coat shrimp lightly with the flour mixture.
4. Melt butter in a skillet and cook garlic for 1 min. then add shrimps. Cook for about 3-4 min. each side. Serve with steamed rice.
