Juicy, succulent, meaty, just full of flavor!! If you’ve ever explored the Northshore in Oahu while hungry, chances are, you’ve heard of this dish. Aloha! I’m recreating this World Famous Garlic Shrimp from Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck!
1 lb large prawns (16-20 size), shell intact
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp Hawaiian salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Squeeze of lemon
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced garlic
juice of 1/2 lemon
De-vein the large prawns, keeping the shell intact. Wash, place in a bowl, and add minced garlic, paprika, Hawaiian salt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix and marinate 15-30 minutes.
In a heated large skillet (medium-low) add a layer of cooking oil.
Dredge the shrimp in cornstarch and fry 2-3 minutes each side. Cook in batches and drain on a paper towel.
With the oil remaining in the pan add unsalted butter and minced garlic, saute until golden brown, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, then the shrimp. Coat evenly in the butter garlic sauce. Plate with steaming hot rice, a wedge of lemon, and spicy sauce! Enjoy!
