Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When sautéing shrimp heads, gently crush them to burst the internal organs—this infuses the oil with a rich, savory umami similar to shrimp crackers.
  • Adding a small splash of water at the end helps blend the oil and ingredients smoothly, preventing separation.
  • Use leftover oil and ingredients with water and instant ramen seasoning to make a delicious seafood ramen.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to create a sophisticated yet simple appetizer at a campsite.
  • Anyone who enjoys a deeper, richer shrimp flavor beyond the typical gambas.
