Yes, shell is ON! I used a Vietnamese-inspired method to cook these little shrimpies! Have you seen the other Hawaiian inspired recipes I've been posting the past couple of weeks? Linking them in the description. XOXO
Today I made your Garlic Shrimp Scampi, OMG, it was delicious. Yes I ate the shell too, I enjoyed it, my daughter not so much. This will be a staple recipe in my home. Thank You!
Wonderful tip dredging the shrimp in cornstarch before pan-frying! The shells are part of the delicacy of the dish, and this makes them so crunchy even my more finicky friends enjoy them with no complaints about the shells-one didn’t even realize he was eating the shells until his second helping LOL Thanks for the recipe and the technique!

ive been to giovannis one time about 6 years ago, and i still crave it to this day!! i went searching for a recipe only to find out one of my most trustworthy favorite you tubers recreated it similarly. thank you so much!!!! I'm so excited to try this recipe.
I used to live there for a couple of years in the 90’s ... I love going there for lunch on a Sunday ... I used to order their half and half ... half scampi and half spicy ... gosh, I am making this asap!
Thanks for the recipe. Giovanni's is a MUST stop for us whenever we go to Oahu. We always get the scampi. International marketplace has changed a lot. When I first went there 10 years ago it was not a fancy mall.
Omg! My first trip to Oahu was in 2014 for Thanksgiving. The international market back then looked like a traditional flea market with character! My husband and I went this past Christmas; the market is now just a bunch of fancy stores! Touristy mess!
Can you PLEASE attempt to recreate those ube glazed pancakes?! I've never been to Hawaii before but I've seen tons of photos of those ube pancakes and I'd love to try and make it at home!
I came to the internet looking to recreate one of my favorite meals I've ever had...this exact shrimp from Giovanni's!!! I'm going to make it tonight ❤️ thank you!!!
Giovanni's marinates the shrimp with the olive oil, butter, and other ingredients, then cooks as is. Your recipe looks good. I do basically the same but add some white wine in the marinade as well, and I don't use the corn starch (which looks like a good thing to try). Aloha!
So I can finally comment in this. I’ve had this video tab up in my phone for …probably a year or two. The moment finally came last night where I actually committed to making this and yeah it was worth the wait. Really brought me back to having Giovanni’s on holidays! In future I’d probably not cook with shell on and reduce butter amount slightly but outside that it was delicious. Great video!
I made this shrimp tonight, it was delicious. I did add some rice flour and a bit of salt to the corn starch, I also added a bit of mirin, sake and lemon juice to the garlic butter when cooking it at the end and it was amazing! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your recipe! Just a note though, in the description it says 1 TABLESPOON of paprika instead of 2 TEASPOONS for the marinade. I found out the hard way by looking at it when making it. Delicious recipe!
I made it this way with cornstarch and I really liked it, i was amazed i now love the shells😋 I did add a tsp of oyster sauce to the sauce because I'm actually from Kauai and this will be new way to cook shrimp. THANK YOU🤙 ALOHA🤙
Glad you commented that the shell is still on, because I was wondering about that. I don’t think I have ever eaten shrimp with it’s shell on. Will have to try it. Looks so delicious.
Amazing recipe, can’t wait to make it for myself. Giovanni’s should be a national landmark. I would like to know if you can make the Hot and Spicy Shrimp? I crave both recipes but am unfamiliar with their approach.
You’re so adorable/beautiful. Just found this. I lived in Hawaii and always wanted to recreate the garlic shrimp. Thank you for sharing with us! 🥰 Aloha 🤙🌺
OK here is a suggestion for those who never eat the shell and head of the shrimp. Get two separate batch of shrimp one with the shell and head and the other without. Cook them the same way then let me know which batch had more flavor.
The shrimp scampi was my favorite when I lived there. North Shore was one of my favorites to hang out because it was so laid back. Mahalo for the recipe. 🍤
It can take more effort than it's worth to peel garlic that way. I used to do that until I started smashing the cloves with a knife; the skin practically falls off the garlic after that. Coring each clove also helps.
I thought they got rid of the International Market? Family would go there during the weekends back in the early 70's and I was at awe how they wrapped the stores around the tree.
Could you do your version of orange chicken one day? I tried Panda Express when I was studying in the states a few years back and I’ve been dying to learn how to cook orange chicken since we don’t have that here at home 😭
I've been eating shrimps with shells on (chinese or garlic shrimp style) for years now! surprised more people don't do it since the shells are so flavorful! When people visit Honolulu I always take them to Kahuku shrimp trucks because it's a must eat! Alaea is pronounced ah-lie-ya
I know I'm late to the game here, but there's no way I can eat the shell! Lol!! This looks absolutely, positively delicious. I will try this exactly as you made It, minus the shells. I also find that the next size down, (shrimp) are sweeter And tastier. But that's just me. A big thumbs up for this recipe!
I like how on 5:30 you say "you guys" You sound like you're from Hawai'i so cute haha! Idk if someone actually told you this already but the salt you're trying to say is pronounced "A-Lie". Like someone told you "A lie" If that makes sense hahaha! Born and raised on the island of Maui but have traveled to O'ahu a lot and Giovanni's is ALWAYS a MUST GO! The drive and standing in line is WORTH IT! Also just got done watching your 3 panini sandwich video! I'm torn now I don't know what I want hahaha!
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I’ve been waiting for this 😋 omg sounds and looks so delicious!! God knows I can’t always purchase from the food truck Shrimp Daddy in LA
