Another yummy garlic shrimp recipe, called the Hawaiian Shrimp Truck Scampi. Watch the video below from ChefTips and try this recipe for yourself.

Ingredients:

10 shell-on U-15 (extra large) shrimp, deveined

1 head (10 cloves) garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (1 tablespoon for spicier tastes)

1/2 stick clarified butter (see our video recipe)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 cup white wine

2 tablespoons regular butter

Cooking Procedure:

To begin, rinse and thaw your large shrimp in cool running water. Lightly pat dry. In a wide tupperware dish, place the flour, paprika and cayenne pepper. Mix lightly with your hands and coat each piece of shrimp on both sides.

Heat saute pan over high heat.

Add clarified butter and garlic. Stir for 1 minute, then add all of the shrimp, which has been coated in the flour mixture. Saute 3 minutes on each side.

After 3 minutes on the second side, add the 1/8 cup of white wine and 2 tablespoons butter. Saute, turning shrimp occasionally, until it reaches a caramel brown color.

Remove shrimp immediately and serve with two mounds of sticky steamed calrose rice and a lemon wedge, spooning extra garlic butter sauce over the rice and shrimp. Add extra salt and cayenne pepper to taste if desired.

Makes 2 servings of 5 jumbo shrimp each.

Chef's Note: You leave the shell on only during the cooking process. This keeps the shrimp tender and moist. Afterward, you peel and eat them, topped with the buttery garlic sauce and sticky rice.
