1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
For the Sauce:
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or mirin
Black pepper, to taste
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce (or mirin), and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter.
Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat the shrimp evenly.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. The sauce will reduce slightly.
(Optional) Drizzle with sesame oil before serving for added flavor.
Serve hot with rice, veggies, or your favorite sides.
Don’t overcook the shrimp—they cook quickly and can become rubbery.
Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
For extra flavor, double the garlic or butter.
Pairs well with hibachi fried rice, grilled veggies, or a fresh salad.
To thicken the sauce, let it simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
