Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated, for aioli)
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sake, honey, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the ginger aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the shrimp hot with the ginger aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
