Ingredients
  • 1 lb large peeled and deveined shrimp (tails on or off)
  • 3 tbsp of Kewpie mayo
  • 1½ tbsp of soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • ½ tsp of Sriracha (or more depending on preference)
  • 2 tbsp of grape seed oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 2 zucchini, chopped
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • *7 stalks of green garlic (see note below), white and light green parts only, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • hot white rice for serving
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl whisk together the Kewpie, soy, ketchup and Sriracha. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the zucchini and the kosher salt. Saute for about 6-7 minutes or until zucchini start to get golden brown. Add the green garlic and onion. Saute for 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Push the veggies to the side of the pan to create a space in the middle for the shrimp.
  3. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the shrimp to the middle of the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp develop color and then flip them over. Cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Stir to combine the shrimp and vegetables from the side of the pan. Turn off the heat and add the Kewpie sauce. Stir very well to coat. Serve immediately over white rice.
  4. * If you can't find green garlic, substitute 2 cloves chopped garlic and 7 scallions chopped in 2 inch pieces.
