Please be sure to boil the sake in step 3 to evaporate the alcohol.
In step 5, if you turn the skewers as you remove them they will come out easily. Recipe by Pecchin

Ingredients

10 servings
  1. 5-10Shrimp such as Black Tiger
  2. 500 mlWater
  3. 1 1/2 tspSalt (for parboiling)
  4. 50 mlCooking sake
  5. 1 pinchSalt (to season)
  6. 3shakes Flavor enhancer (such as Ajinomoto)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the water to a boil, add the salt for parboiling, and add the shelled and de-veined shrimp.

  2. 2

    Some seconds after the water comes back to a boil, when the outside of the shrimp changes color, take them out. This is just to remove the fishy taste, so it's okay if they are still raw inside.

  3. 3

    Put 50 ml of cooking sake in a small pot and bring to a boil. Add the flavor enhancer and a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Add the shrimp. Simmer for a bit less than a minute. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and leave the shrimp to steam-cook with residual heat. If you are cooking a lot of shrimp, cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer over low heat while shaking the pan.

  5. 5

    If you are using the shrimp for sushi rolls, skewer the shrimp so that they won't curl up, and follow steps 2 to 4. Leave the shrimp to cool in the simmering liquid, remove the skewers, and butterfly the shrimp from the belly side.

  6. 6

    If you are using the shrimp as sushi toppings, butterfly the shrimp after step 5 from the belly side.
