Hawaiian garlic shrimp
Juicy prawns cooked in a garlicky buttery sauce, this Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp is just like the shrimp trucks you’d find in Hawaii.
I often wonder if I could travel anywhere in the world for one meal; where would I go? This is a hard choice for me; I’d have to admit. I’d have to say maybe Nigeria to grab some fresh street suya, or Vietnam for a huge bowl of Pho, or Hawaii for a plate of Hawaiian garlic shrimp!

Author: Alyssa
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound White Shrimp
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 heads fresh garlic, minced
- 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon course Hawaiian sea salt (regular sea salt is ok)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- In a medium skillet on medium low heat, add 4 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 Tablespoons butter, and minced raw garlic. Saute the garlic until it is brown, tender and caramelized.
- Add the salt, pepper, paprika, remaining butter, 1 T olive oil, and juice of one lemon. See notes. Let the sauce develop and carefully add the shrimp in one layer in the pan.
- Shrimp cook quickly and only take about 3-5 minutes on each side. Once the shells have turned a lovely pink orangeish color, it is time to flip them. Do not overcook them or they will be rubbery and tough.
- Serve the shrimp with rice and to get the full Hawaii effect, use the leftover garlic sauce to serve on top of the rice. 🙂
Notes
Although I thought the sauce was perfect, my hubby thought it should be a little thicker. If you want it thicker, before adding shrimp, whisk in a Tablespoon of flour
