Hibachi Shrimp is a quick and flavorful Japanese-style grilled shrimp dish cooked with garlic, butter, soy sauce, and vegetables. It’s a savory, umami-packed meal that’s both simple and impressive for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin or sake (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Slice vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, mirin (or sake), sesame oil, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
  3. Preheat a hibachi grill, cast-iron griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  4. Add a bit of oil or butter, then stir-fry the vegetables until they begin to soften, about 3–4 minutes. Push them to the side of the grill.
  5. Place shrimp on the hot surface and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  6. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing quickly to coat and heat through for about 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat, drizzle with lemon or lime juice, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp — they’re done once pink and opaque.
  • Use a very hot surface to get a nice sear and prevent sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
