Start by preparing a pound of peeled and deveined Black Tiger Shrimp, ensuring they are dry. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create a flavorful sauce. Set this aside.
Next, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Using the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine.
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the shrimp to add a touch of heat, adjusting according to your spice preference. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
To serve, plate the Asian Garlic Butter Black Tiger Shrimp over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
This dish offers a perfect harmony of savory, sweet, and garlicky flavors with a hint of spice, making it a delightful Asian-inspired meal. Enjoy your Black Tiger Shrimp!
