Main Ingredients- 15 medium fresh or frozen shrimp
- 7-8 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or rice wine)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the shrimp thoroughly under running water. Peel the shell from the shrimp body, leaving the tail and head intact. To devein, carefully insert a toothpick into the second or third segment from the head and gently pull out the dark vein. This step ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 2
Season the deveined shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Step 3
While the shrimp are marinating, thinly slice the whole garlic cloves. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant, infusing the oil with garlic aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Once the garlic begins to release its aroma, add the seasoned shrimp to the pan. Pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (mirin or rice wine) to help eliminate any potential fishy odors, resulting in a cleaner flavor profile. If you have white wine, it can be used instead of cooking wine for a more sophisticated taste.
Step 5
Stir-fry the shrimp and garlic together over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp turn a beautiful pink and are fully cooked.
Step 6
When the shrimp are completely cooked and have turned a vibrant pink, reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter melts and coats the shrimp and garlic evenly.
Step 7
Once the butter is fully incorporated and the shrimp glisten, turn off the heat. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some dried basil or parsley for added aroma and visual appeal (optional).
Step 8
And there you have it! Your impressive Garlic Shrimp Butter Roast is ready in under 30 minutes! Serve immediately while warm to savor the full flavor. It’s a fantastic side dish or a delightful appetizer.
