Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
