Ingredients: Jumbo shrimp, coarse salt, butter, garlic

Koreans usually roast shrimp only with salt but I added garlic and butter. Also, this food usually comes with a Korean dipping sauce made of chili pepper paste and vinegar or sesame oil, but I prepared a garlic and cheese mayo sauce for my American friends.

Directions:

❶ Wash shrimp and remove vein if you don’t like them. You can use a knife or toothpick to pull out the vein.

❷ Wash garlic and cut the butter into pieces.

❸ Lay one or two pieces of aluminum foil on a pan then put coarse salt, shrimp, garlic and butter on it.

❹ Put the lid on the pan and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes.

Finished! Extremely simple!
