What is Hibachi Shrimp?

Hibachi refers to a method of cooking that involves high heat. The food is typically cooked in a wok or flat top grill.

Seasonings often include garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. This method of cooking is pretty fast.

How to make hibachi shrimp

• Step 1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat.  High heat is what sets hibachi style cooking apart so this is important.

• Step 2. Combine the hibachi sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and black pepper.  Set aside. 

• Step 3. Sauté the garlic and butter. Melt the butter in the pan and spread it around the grill with a spatula.  Add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant. 

• Step 4. Place the shrimp in the pan. Then add in the shrimp and stir to coat the shrimp in the butter. 

• Step 5. Add the sauce. Pour the sauce on top of the shrimp and toss to fully coat the shrimp in the sauce. You want every bit of the shrimp in that delicious seasoning blend.

• Step 6. Cook the shrimp. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through (shrimp will be pink). It does not take long to cook shrimp so keep a close eye on it. You do not want to over cook it.

• Step 7. Remove the shrimp from the grill.  Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

What is Hibachi Sauce Made of?

Most Hibachi chefs use soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil to season the shrimp. This can also be used to season the white rice while cooking. The delicious blend of butter garlic and more taste fabulous with shrimp and vegetables.

Sometimes ginger is also added depending on what is being cooked in the hibachi recipe. It all results in a one of a kind meal that will be a hit with the entire family.

Cooking tips:

• Mirin. If you cannot find Mirin in your area, you can use dry sherry or marsala wine instead.  Dry white wine or rice vinegar will work in this recipe too.  Any of these options will be delicious in this recipe.
• Raw Shrimp. You do not want to use precooked shrimp in this recipe. While the raw shrimp cooks, it gives it plenty of time to soak in all the delicious flavors. We suggest shrimp that is already peeled to make it simple.
• Don’t over cook. Shrimp takes only a few minutes to cook. They will become rubbery and tough if over cooked.
• Soy Sauce. You can substitute lower sodium soy sauce if you prefer. Be careful with extra seasonings such as salt and pepper. Due to the saltiness of the soy sauce, you do not typically need to add any salt to the stir fry.
• Sear the shrimp. Stir fry the shrimp so it has seared edges for extra flavor.
• Large pan or wok. The cooking space needs to be large enough so that the shrimp can easily fit in one layer. You do not want them stacked on top of each other or they won’t properly cook.

Everyone will love Hibachi Shrimp.
