Brought to you by the JonesBrand Crew:
This recipe was inspired by a recent trip to the North Shore. We traveled up through Haleiwa and had to stop at the famous, mouth watering, shrimp trucks for some lunch. My hat is off to the folks at Giovanni's Famous Shrimp… their Aloha Shrimp is No Ka Oi! Below is my attempt at recreating that delicious plate lunch. The crew here at JonesBrand is still jonesin' for the real, authentic thing.
1 head of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped (about 10 cloves)
Dust Shrimp with a mixture of:
1 cup of flour, 2 tbls Paprika, 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (add a little more if you like more heat)
Preheat Saute pan on high for about 2 minutes
Add 1/2 cup Clarified Butter
Immediately add the chopped garlic
Cook the garlic for about a minute then add the Shrimp
Sprinkle a Teasp Kosher or Sea Salt onto Shrimp
Cook for 3 minutes on each side
Add 1/8 cup of White Wine and 2 Tbls Butter
The garlic chips should just be lightly browned, don't burn or it will get bitter!
Serve with 2 small rounds of Sticky Rice and a lemon wedge
