Busy days of the week make many housewives not have much time to prepare elaborate dishes. Therefore, refer to a few delicious, nutritious and unique dishes to help diversify your daily menu.
In which, grilled garlic shrimp with a strong aroma and characteristic garlic flavor will bring an interesting experience to the family.
To make delicious and flavorful garlic grilled shrimp, prepare 500gr of large black tiger shrimp or white leg shrimp (should choose live shrimp, glossy and firm skin), 2 cloves of garlic (about 50gr).
The marinating sauce part needs to have 20g of unsalted butter, oyster sauce, honey, peppercorns and a little chili powder if you want to add a spicy flavor. The combination of butter and garlic will be an important secret to help the shrimp shell after grilling have a glossy texture and a fragrant aroma that stimulates the taste buds.
After buying the shrimp, wash them thoroughly and use scissors to cut off the beard and long legs so that they are not burnt when grilled. A small tip for housewives is to use a knife to cut a line along the spine of the shrimp to remove black threads, and at the same time help garlic sauce penetrate deeper into the meat.
After preliminary processing, pat the shrimp thoroughly dry with a clean cloth so that when grilling, the shrimp will be crispy, without getting water and diluting the sauce.
In addition, when preparing the sauce, garlic needs to be minced but not too mushy. Heat a pan with plain butter, add garlic and sauté until golden brown, then turn off the heat immediately. Mix a little oyster sauce, honey and pepper with this fragrant sauté garlic to create a thick sauce mixture.
Next, spread the garlic sauce evenly on each shrimp, especially the pre-cut back, and let the shrimp absorb the spices for about 15 minutes.
If using an oven or oil-free frying pot, choose a temperature of 180°C for 8 - 10 minutes. In case of grilling with charcoal stoves, flip evenly until the shrimp shell turns brick red and garlic sticks to the golden yellow shell, which is satisfactory.
The best grilled shrimp with garlic is served while still hot, dipped with salt, pepper, lemon, chili or specialized seafood dipping sauce.
Shrimp meat after grilling must retain its chewy sweetness, crunchy outer skin blended with the fatty taste of butter and the spicy taste of garlic. This is a simple but sophisticated dish, making the weekly meal more diverse and novel.
