Spicy Garlic Shrimp (20 Minutes)

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

I am not kidding when I say I’ve been DREAMING about these Spicy Garlic Shrimp since Hawaii.

Inspired by Ted’s Bakery, this spicy, savory, and super addicting Spicy Garlic Shrimp has been my go-to dinner recipe!

It took me a couple of months to perfect this Spicy Garlic Shrimp recipe, so make sure to give it a try because it is UNREAL!

PRO TIP: make extra rice because you will want to soak up all that sauce. 

Ted's Bakery

One of my favorite places to visit in Oahu is Ted’s Bakery for their Haupia Cream Pie and Spicy Garlic Shrimp.

Their Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie is delicious and the best I’ve ever had—creamy and rich filled, paired with a tender crust.

The haupia cream pie is not too sweet and is one of the best pies I’ve ever had! If you are also looking to satisfy your savory taste buds, you must try their Spicy Garlic Shrimp.

The spicy sauce is SO delicious that I went back to ask for an extra serving of rice so I don’t waste any of the sauce. When I returned from Oahu, I knew I had to recreate Ted’s Bakery Spicy Garlic Shrimp.

It is super easy to make Spicy Garlic Shrimp at home!

One of the things that stood out to me the most when Ted’s Bakery is how the shrimp is both juicy and crispy.

Unlike other shrimp trucks in Oahu, the shrimp is pre-peeled, so it is easier to eat. I use corn starch instead of flour to ensure that the coating is light and crisp.

Corn starch is also gluten-free, perfect for those with a gluten allergy. Season the corn starch with garlic powder, red chili flakes, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Pan-fry the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side so that the shrimp is 90% cooked. 

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

The star of the Spicy Garlic Shrimp is for sure the sauce.

All you need is butter, Korean red chili paste (Gochujang), Lemon Juice, and ALOT of garlic.

Gochujang is a savory, sweet and spicy condiment made from red hot chile peppers, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, salt, and more.

Perfect for making spicy Korean dishes such as bibimbap, kimchi stew, and spicy chicken wings. To finish off, add a generous amount of parmesan cheese on top of the shrimp and pair it with a bowl of rice.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
