Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp

Directions for the Shrimp

Remove the heads from the shrimp. Set aside for shrimp stock. Add to a bowl and cover with both types of flour and salt. Toss the shrimps in the flour mixture. Note, the flour won’t necessarily cover the shrimp entirely, this is totally fine.

Add about 1/2-inch of oil to a heavy bottom pot like a Dutch oven. Bring this oil up to 375 degrees. Fry the shrimps in batches for two minutes, turning about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the fried shrimps to a tray lined with a wired rack. Using the rack will keep the shrimps crispy in between cooking methods. 

Directions for the Garlic Sauce

Carefully dispose of the oil used to fry the shrimp. Clean the pot out and return to the stove. Heat the butter up over medium heat. Gently fry the garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings in the butter for one to two minute before adding the shrimp back into the butter mixture. Be sure not to burn the garlic and reduce your heat if necessary.

Toss the shrimps in the butter mixture until they are thoroughly covered. Immediately transfer to a plate and serve!
