This is a delightful Japanese-inspired shrimp recipe for garlic-lovers; served over rice or pasta or on it's own -- it's sure to make everyone scream, 'What's the recipe?!' I secured this sure-fire loads-o-goodness recipe while attempting to replicate something else entirely. Serve shrimps over freshly prepared rice or pasta with a salad, vegetable and/or hot bread and butter -- Happy Ending! Ingredients:
3/4 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons mirin |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons dried minced onion |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs |
16 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, tails still attached |
2 tablespoons sesame oil |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. Stir together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, dried minced onion, onion powder, curry powder, turmeric, basil, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl. Fold in the bread crumbs until evenly moistened. Cover, and refrigerate at least an hour.
2. Cut each shrimp along the back and open the halves like a book. Place a hearty dollop of the mayonnaise mixture onto each shrimp, and spread over the top to completely cover. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Place the shrimp in the pan, mayonnaise-side up, and add the water. Cover, and steam until the shrimp are no longer transparent, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
