Herb and Cheese Garlic Shrimp
- 10 Shrimp
- 2 slice plus Sliced cheese singles (non-melting type)
- 1 Thyme (rosemary, oregano, basil etc. are fine too)
- 1/2 to 1 clove Garlic (grated)
- 1 tbsp White wine (or sake)
- 1 Plain flour
- 1 Black pepper, salt and pepper * cumin
- I like to use regular to large tiger prawn or Pacific white shrimp.
- Compare the size of the shrimp with an egg.
- Peel the shrimp, and rub them with some coarse salt or katakuriko to clean them.
- Rinse them under running water and wipe dry.
- Butterfly the shrimp from the back sides and devein the shrimp.
- You devein them first before cutting the shrimp open.
- )Sprinkle with salt and pepper, plus garlic.
- Dust evenly with flour.
- Cut the sliced cheese.
- If the shrimp are big, cut each slice of cheese into quarters; if the shrimp are on the small side, cut the cheese into 6 pieces, or in any way you like.
- Heat up some oil in a frying pan and pan fry the shrimp.
- When both sides are lightly browned, add the white wine, shake the pan and let the alcohol burn off.
- Take the shrimp out of the pan.
- If the frying pan is not too dirty, put the cheese pieces in it right away.
- If the pan is too messy for you, wipe it out with paper towels first.
- When the cheese is nutty and turning brown, top with any herbs of your choice, as much as you like.
- (I used fresh thyme this time.)
- Put the shrimp on top of the cheese pieces...
- ...and keep cooking while watching the heat level until the cheese turns crispy.
- If the cheese looks crispy when you turn the cheese and shrimp over, the dish is done.
- Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with lots of black pepper.
- I added a sprig of thyme to the plate in the top photo.
- How to prevent oil from splattering when cooking shrimp: See the photo here.
- Cut off the part of the tail that's in the white circle.
- Chop off the ends of the tails where the red line is, and scrape out any water that's left in the remaining tail with the tip of a knife.
