Ebi Mayo (Shrimp in a yogurt/mayo sauce)

Official Post № 12:

This is our first Japanese recipe to showcase on our blog, and Ebi Mayo is a famous shrimp recipe in Japan that Mami grew up eating. We love shrimp and this recipe was a hit!

Here is what you will need:

• 1/2 pound of raw shrimp
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 asparagus stalks or 2 green onion stalks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• few drops of lemon juice

Directions:

1. Put peeled shrimp and cornstarch in a bag and mix them well.
2. If using asparagus, boil until cooked then dice. If using green onion, dice and cook with shrimp. 
3. Cook shrimp with olive oil in a frying pan until golden brown.
4. Mix yogurt, mayo, ketchup, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl.
5. Combine shrimp, asparagus, and sauce mixture. Serve warm with plain rice.

We hope you enjoyed our first international post. We have more from Japan and Bulgaria that we will be sharing in the coming weeks.
