Sauce and Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine; see notes for substitutes)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (or other high smoke point oil such as peanut, avocado, or grape seed)
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (clarified butter or ghee preferred)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)
- 2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed if frozen)
- Preheat the Griddle. Heat your Blackstone hibachi griddle or a flat griddle pan over medium-high heat to approximately 400°F. Use an infrared temperature gun for best accuracy to achieve the ideal cooking surface temperature.
- Prepare the Sauce Mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin (or substitute), and ground black pepper. Set this savory marinade aside for easy pouring during cooking.
- Heat the Butter and Oil. Spread the toasted sesame oil and butter evenly over the griddle surface using a large spatula. When the butter melts completely, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds until fragrant, infusing the fat with bold garlic flavor.
- Cook the Shrimp. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the griddle. Stir and toss the shrimp in the garlic butter mixture with a spatula to coat evenly. Then pour the soy sauce mixture over the shrimp, stirring gently to combine all flavors thoroughly.
- Finish Cooking. Continue stirring and flipping the shrimp occasionally for 4 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp turn bright pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked but still tender and juicy.
- Serve Warm. Remove the hibachi shrimp from the griddle and serve immediately with steamed rice, fried rice, or your favorite stir-fried noodles for a truly satisfying meal.
Notes
- Mirin Substitute: If you don’t have mirin, you can use a mix of 3 tablespoons of white wine or sake with 1 teaspoon sugar to mimic the sweetness.
- Shrimp: Use fresh shrimp if possible for the best taste. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry before cooking.
- Griddle Temperature: Using an infrared temperature gun ensures you hit the perfect 400°F for even cooking.
- Butter: Clarified butter or ghee is preferred to prevent burning due to high heat.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with steamed rice, fried rice, or hibachi-style noodles to complete the meal.
