Steps
To prepare Shrimp in Teriyaki Sauce
IMPORTANT: Remember from the start that you should prepare the steamed rice by following the recipe in this link.
Begin by removing the outer skin of the ginger. Then slice it and cut into small cubes.
Similarly, peel a clove of garlic and chop it into pieces roughly the same size as the ginger.
Next, take the leek and remove the base and top with a knife, leaving only the cylindrical part.
Then, peel off the first outer layer and slice the entire leek diagonally.
Proceed by heating a little vegetable oil in a non-stick pan to fry the garlic with the ginger for a few minutes. Then add the sliced leek.
Next, add the sesame oil, shrimp, and soy sauce.
Finish by adding the chives, stirring well, and then add the teriyaki sauce. Let everything cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked and the leek has slightly wilted.
Finally, prepare a nice bowl and place a portion of steamed rice inside, followed by the cooked shrimp and leek. Drizzle the top with more teriyaki sauce.
Lastly, for an even more distinctive touch, garnish with sesame seeds and serve at the table!
Tip!
Depending on your taste, you can vary the amount of sauces during cooking and when garnishing.
