GIOVANNI'S STYLE GARLIC SHRIMP

DINNER AT HOME

Another night at home enjoying our version of Giovanni's North Shore Shrimp.  My Wife has nailed the recipe and we get the hot sauce direct from the Giovanni truck.  This is one of my all time favorite meals.  As good as going out to the North Shore.

GIOVANNI'S GARLIC SHRIMP RECIPE

DINNER AT HOME

OK here it is...our version of the famous Giovanni's Shrimp Truck recipe.  Took us many years to get this recipe down to perfection.  The big secret is getting the original Giovanni's Hot Sauce from the truck to dip the Shrimp in.  Every time we visit the truck in Kahuku, I tip the cashier for extra sauce.  We keep it in the refrigerator until we make the shrimp.  For this dinner we used fresh Shrimp from Kauai that was never frozen.  The Shrimp from Kauai are large and sweet.  Perfect for this recipe.

You will be surprised how quick and easy this recipe is to make.  Just remember it took us almost two years to get this down to where it tastes like Giovanni's.

Garlic Shrimp and Rice is a family favorite dinner.  If you live or visit Hawaii, I highly recommend you make the drive to the North Shore of Oahu and eat a Shrimp Plate at the Giovanni's Food Truck.  This is a really good copy of their recipe and when you serve this up with the authentic Giovanni's Hot Sauce that you can buy at the market, you can enjoy the taste of the North Shore right in your own home.  The recipe is inexpensive and very easy.  My entire family loves this.  If you love Garlic and Shrimp, I guarantee you will too.  What makes this dish is the Spicy Giovanni's Hot Sauce.  You can purchase this sauce at most supermrkets on Oahu or pick it up online.

DINNER AT HOME

Seems like I am enjoying cooking again.  Lately I have been digging through the refrigerator in an attempt to use ingredients that we have in the house. The goal is to use up what we have and not go to the store.  We had some great looking shrimp and some Italian Parsley so I whipped up a really good Shrimp Scampi with Pasta.  The dish came out perfect and tasted delicious.  Ingredients are;

pasta, shrimp, garlic, butter, olive oil, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper, lemon juice and Italian parsley.  That's it!
