Method

  1. 1

    Gently thaw the jumbo shrimps under cold running water, then meticulously pat them dry with paper towels – this ensures a beautiful sear! Season generously with a pinch of salt and a grind of fresh black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a sturdy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the prepped shrimps and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to curl and turn a vibrant pink.

  3. 3

    Introduce the luscious garlic sauce to the skillet, stirring gently to coat every succulent shrimp. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and cling to the shrimp, releasing an irresistible aroma.

  4. 4

    While the shrimp finishes its dance in the pan, slice the red burger buns horizontally. In a separate pan or under a broiler, lightly toast the cut sides until they're golden and slightly crisp, offering a delightful contrast to the juicy filling.

  5. 5

    Spoon the glistening garlic shrimps generously into the toasted burger buns. Ensure a balanced distribution, allowing the rich sauce to meld beautifully with the warm bread.

  6. 6

    For a vibrant touch, arrange a small handful of thawed frozen strawberries alongside your shrimp buns. Their bright acidity will elegantly cut through the richness, creating a harmonious and refreshing plate.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, perhaps with an extra sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper, for a truly satisfying and quick breakfast experience that awakens the senses.

👩‍🍳 Chef's tip

Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp; work in batches if necessary to ensure a proper sear rather than steaming. For an extra kick, a tiny dash of chili powder (if available) can be added to the shrimp along with salt and pepper.
