I made Garlic Shrimp Don

3 comments

1. We’ve been going through a heatwave here in Tokyo, and I’ve been turning to quick donburi to keep the heat in the kitchen at bay. I made this mashup of shoyu butter shrimp with Okinawa-style garlic shrimp the other day, and it’s got a ridiculously good effort-to-taste ratio. I just marinate some peeled and deveined shrimp with sake, garlic, and salt and then pan fry it. It gets finished with a pat of butter and soy sauce, which creates this decadent emulsion that percolates down into the bed of rice it’s served on. Add a squeeze of lemon, and it’s the perfect summertime lunch. Doesn’t really need a recipe, but if you need one, I’ve [posted it here](https://youtu.be/IAq9ipjFUa4).

2. Yum
