This butter shrimp is one of my husband's favorite dishes :) He's been a big fan of shrimp since he was a kid, especially fried ones. Personally, I prefer plain boiled shrimp... haha. This recipe is super easy, anyone can make it. The ingredients are simple and likely already at home. Oh, and this is a family recipe... it's all about personal taste. If you like it tangy, just add more tomato sauce. If you like it sweet, add more soy sauce. This recipe is flexible! Don't forget to choose fresh shrimp. I usually pick them myself at the market because if the seller picks them, they sometimes mix them up. A little fishy smell on your hands is okay, just wash them instead of having a fishy dish. Let's get to the recipe!
