Shrimp in Ginger and Scallion is Today's Delight

My brother made this dish while I was visiting. It is best to use peeled shrimp or Costco’s wild caught, headless, unpeeled, deveined Jumbo shrimp.

It is so convenient to use Costco or Sam’s frozen shrimp since it is already clean and easy to peel.

Instead of manually chopping the ginger and scallion or green onion, he used a small food processor to make extra servings and stored it in the freezer.

If you’ve been following my videos, I do the same thing. I use an ice cube tray to portion my servings, freeze and transfer to a food saver. If you use these ingredients often, it will save you time.

Use olive oil or a combination of butter and olive oil. I prefer to use oil and butter as it complements the shrimp so well. When butter melts, add olive oil and saute all the ingredients. In a few minutes, you are ready to serve it.

Luckily, my video turned out OK since I have a shaky hand. When I travel, I leave behind my camera and tripod as it is too heavy.

My brother tells me I’m a very stubborn person. He had mentioned many times before to stop bringing food as it is heavy to hand carry.

Also, even though I am TSA pre-checked, anytime I hand carry food I get stopped and searched by the TSA. I don’t like checking in food plus I prefer not to have it in my luggage.

Made Biko, my mom’s favorite and gave some to my relatives too. I could do it there but when I am on vacation, I don’t like to cook plus I like cooking in my own kitchen. It is hard to prepare a dish when I don’t know where things are.
