Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Separate garlic cloves into a bowl and place another bowl on top. Shake until all of the peels are knocked off the cloves, about 30 seconds, being careful not to shake too hard. Chop peeled cloves into relatively small pieces.
• Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat and add chopped garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic and butter into a small bowl and reserve.
• Pat thawed shrimp dry with paper towels and add to a large mixing bowl.
• Combine rice flour, paprika, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the shrimp and use a large spoon or spatula to toss until completely coated.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add some shrimp in a single layer and cook until browned and just barely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add some garlic butter and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining shrimp and garlic butter. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pulse the garlic in a food processor until finely chopped but not a paste, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, add the butter and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the garlic is a light golden color, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the garlic or it will become bitter. Immediately transfer to a large heatproof bowl and stir in the paprika, cayenne and 1 tablespoon2 teaspoons salt. Let the garlic butter cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Wipe out the skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, scallions and cucumber in a medium bowl. Add the rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the oil and a generous pinch of salt; toss to combine and set aside.
• Put the shrimp in the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped but do not puree to a paste. Transfer to the garlic butter and stir to combine. Form the mixture into 9 patties, about 1/3 cup each. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp patties and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Split the slider buns and spread the tops and bottoms with mayonnaise. Put a patty on each of the bottom buns. Top with some cabbage slaw and close the sliders with the top buns.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spices.
• Add the canola oil and 8 tablespoons of butter to a 12-inch (30 cm) cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add 10-12 shrimp to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip, season lightly with salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the shells are crispy and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove from pan and set on a serving dish. Add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter to the pan and repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Once the shrimp are cooked, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the garlic to the pan and sauté briefly, about 1 minute, until fragrant but still somewhat pungent. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Squeeze the lemon juice all over the shrimp.
• Pour the garlic butter over the shrimp, then garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl or plastic food storage bag, and mix these ingredients together until blended.
• Add the shrimp to this flour mixture and coat the shrimp with the flour mixture (all of the flour mixture should adhere to the shrimp).
• Set the shrimp aside, and let them sit while you cook the garlic (this time allows for the flour mixture to adhere to the shell of the shrimp).
• In a large pan heat the butter and one tablespoon of olive oil on medium high heat until the butter has melted.
• Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter & oil, and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until you see the garlic has turned light brown.
• Once the garlic has turned light brown, add the wine, and cook for about one minute.
• Remove the garlic sauce from the pan and set aside. (I do this to help prevent burning the garlic while I cook the shrimp.)
• Add the second tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and let it get hot. Then, add your shrimp to the pan.
• Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (your cooked shrimp should be pink in color). (I like to cook my shrimp in batches, so that the pan is not overcrowded and to help with even cooking of the shrimp. I usually have to cook only about two batches in my large skillet.)
• Once you have cooked the last batch of shrimp, add the garlic sauce, and other cooked shrimp back into the pan, and stir. Then, remove the pan from the heat source. Garnish with optional parsley.
• Serve Hawaiian Style with sticky white rice and macaroni salad!
