Step-by-Step Instructions for Irresistibly Crispy Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Recipe
- Start by cleaning your shrimp, whether fresh or frozen. If using frozen shrimp, allow them to thaw completely, then pat dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch or potato starch with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Coat each shrimp in the starch mixture. Ensure even coverage on all sides before letting them rest.
- Heat enough neutral oil in a large skillet until it shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain shrimp on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the crispy shrimp back into the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the garlic butter.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are completely dry before dredging for the crispiest results. Use a high smoke point oil for frying.
