About This Dish:
To begin, let me start by telling you that after making this dish and having it for dinner, I was surprised and very impressed about myself! It truly was a great accomplishment and I would like to share this recipe with you. Shrimp with chili sauce is a very popular dish in Chinatown (in Japan). This recipe aims to replicate that dish people eat in Yokohama's Chinatown. The garlic, ginger, sesame oil and ketchup are one of the main ingredients which come into play. It's simple (trust me) so I hope you try it out and enjoy it as much as I did. 

What You Need:
(Makes ~2 servings)
  • ~20 shrimps (defrosted or fresh, up to you)
  • Finely chopped garlic (approximately 1 tbsp)
  • (Optional) Finely chopped green onion (as much as you like)
  • 1 tbsp Japanese sake
  • 1/2 tbsp regular oil
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
Marinade
  • 1 tbsp Japanese sake
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp grated garlic
  • Pinch of salt
Chili Sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp each of sugar, starch (I used potato starch) and Japanese soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Pinch of salt
