A Heartwarming Day in the Kitchen: Cooking My Son's Beloved Garlic Butter Shrimp Dish and Building Precious Memories Together.

in Daily Blog4 days ago

Have a nice day, everyone! I hope you are all doing great. It's me again, @annapelo, and welcome to my blog. I woke up early today. My son and I went to the market this morning, and he asked me to buy shrimp. Garlic Butter Shrimp is his favorite dish, and my daughter likes it too. Shrimp here in Minglanilla, Cebu is quiet expensive; it costs 400 per kilo. So, I decided to buy a half a kilo for the three of us.

Preparing to cook is easy. I think shrimp is one of the simplest dishes anyone can make. I have my own easy version of how to cook Garlic Butter Shrimp. But before that, we need to wash it properly.

After washing, I started to chop 20 cloves of garlic.., the more garlic, the merrier, hahaha!, and an onion. That's it. I also have some butter, Mama Sita's oyster sauce, and Knorr liquid seasoning.

After preparing all the ingredients, I heated a pan on medium heat and added some butter. Then, I added the onions and garlic, mixing everything together. My son suddenly came into the kitchen and asked if he could help stir the onions and garlic until they turned golden brown. His smile melted my heart; he was so happy to be part of cooking his favorite dish.

Next, I put all the shrimp in the pan. Once they turned orange, I added the oyster sauce, liquid seasoning, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. I let the shrimp cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to blend together. After that, it was ready to dig in.

Do you mean that you avoid garlic rice, and instead prefer other variants of rice such as plain rice or buttered rice? 🤔🍚😅

I avoid anything that has garlic, lol!

How about other strong spices, such as onions? 🤔🧄🧅😅
