Relle
1 Pound Medium Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons White Miso Paste
1 Tablespoon Shoyu
1 Tablespoon Mirin
1-2 Tablespoons Water (as needed)
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
4 Cloves Garlic (finely minced)
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice (or a squeeze to taste)
2 Green Onions (thinly sliced)
1. Prep shrimp: Pat shrimp dry really well. Lightly season with pepper.
2. Make the sauce base: In a small bowl, whisk miso, shoyu, and mirin with 1 tablespoon water until smooth.
3. Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add butter and shrimp to the pan. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until just opaque.
4. Garlic butter: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic. Stir 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Don’t brown the garlic.
5. Miso glaze: Whisk in the miso mixture. It’ll thicken quickly. Splash in another tablespoon of water if needed to create a glossy, spoon-coating sauce.
6. Coat & finish: Toss 30–60 seconds just to coat and heat through. Turn off heat and finish with lemon juice.
7. Serve: Optionally, top with green onions and sesame/furikake. Spoon over rice and veggies. Enjoy!
