Hawaiian-style Garlic Shrimp Directions
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the shrimp, garlic, wine, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours. (Alternatively, you can combine everything in a covered casserole dish.)
- Melt the ghee or clarified butter in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Strain all the liquid from the marinating shrimp, and pour it into the skillet with the ghee. Bring to a simmer. In batches, add the shrimp and cook until mostly cooked through (mostly pink and opaque). Being careful to leave the garlic in the pan, use tongs to transfer the shrimp to a colander that’s placed over a bowl. Repeat until all the shrimp is almost cooked -- you should have lots of garlic and liquid left in the pan.
- Increase the heat to high, and continue to cook the sauce about 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the liquid has evaporated, and the garlic has turned golden-brown and crispy. Return the shrimp to the pan, and stir-fry, tossing frequently, for about 2 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Serve with rice and lemon wedges.
