How to make this Easy Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Recipe ?

First, the most important part is to peel the shrimps, devein, and remove the head. Cleaning these and patting them dry with a kitchen towel to help keep the juices from going out. Now to make sure that these do stay succulent is to marinade this in sparkling water or soft drinks. The bubbles help keep the shrimp tender, juicy, avoiding any ‘mushy-ness’ it may have when cooked later on. It also helps elevate the sweetness shrimps have. In this recipe we’ll be using Sprite but you can also choose to have non flavored soft drinks or lemon flavored sodas to make it a bit zesty. Let this marinade on the side for 30 minutes then drain before using.

While this is marinating; create a sauce in a pan, melt some butter, and saute garlic until aromatic before adding in the tomato paste. Saute for a few minutes until slightly bubbling before adding in the oyster sauce then the shrimps. Saute the shrimps until fully coated with the sauce. Pour in a bit more sprite for some sweetness with some salt and pepper to taste.  When the sauce has slightly reduced and the shrimps look slightly pink/orange. Top these with as much cheese as you’d like. Make sure to turn the heat to low before covering to help melt the cheese faster and better. Garnish with parsley to add some pop of color and liveliness. Serve this with a side of rice for a quick dinner, pack it in the lunchbox for a tasty lunch, or prepare this as a snack to pair with some drinks or to serve as an appetizer.
