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! Steve K.
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!!!
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.
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.
“Alae” is pronounced “uh lie”. And your shrimp honestly looks better than Giovanni’s. But if you are ever back in kahuku, try the Famous Shrimp truck a few blocks away from Giovanni. Even better.
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🤙
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.
I like your video and the explanation of the process. I was watching another video earlier and when cooking shrimp, the chef said shrimp need to be cooked on high heat. You chose a medium-low heat. I will try it your suggested way next time. Thank you.
Great presentation in terms of prep and execution. On a whim, I recently started frying my shrimp with the shell on thinking the shell adds more flavor while preventing the shrimp from over-curling and getting rubbery. But my question is this: seeing as you're frying the shrimp with a coating of starch, do you actually eat the shell along with the shrimp?
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 🤙🌺
I have never heard of people eating the shells on shrimp but there's a first for everything I guess. Can you make this dish with out the shells on the shrimp?
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
can we redo this recipe with the shells off? will it still have the same effect?
@@emmawalshe9612 food wishes does one almost identical and does state he's done it both ways and didn't notice a difference.
You wouldn’t happen to know the measurements of the marinade would you?

Stayed in kahuku for two weeks just very recently. My wife couldn’t get enough of this dish. Making it myself for the first time!
Should be rad!

I was in Hawaii just one month ago. Every single day I are Giovannis shrimp. i fell in love with rhis dish and definitely will cook. Thank you!
Romys is also a famous truck down here in Hawaii!

I tried this recipe and I can personally say it was amazing!
I made this with smaller shrimp and it was awesome. Ate with shell also made a nice crunch. Thank you so much!! 🙌
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!
Romy’s shirmp resto in kahuku we stop by queue is long bcoz of that famous garlics butter shrimp.
Caebey Ros all the shrimp trucks say their number one lol
Yeah all tourist here stop by but romy’s is the oldest shrimp resto they said and we waited 1 hr bcoz of the long queue..but its worth the wait.
Love Giovannis!!!!! Thanks
Garlic shrimp scampi my fav
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!
Born and raised in Oahu! I love Giovannis ❤
So glad you are still making content! I'm going to make this TONIGHT! ❤
Giovani shrimp truck I won’t forget it I love it thanks for sharing
Can you PLEASE MAKE THEIR NUMBER TWO. SPICY SHRIMP! PLEASE!
Great video. Thanks! Coconut sriracha sounds great.
We love Giovanni shrimp truck in Hawaii. Can’t wait to go back next year!
im carving shrimp and ive never made one or ate things this fancy....(in my town shrimp is REALLY expensive)
It really does look legit! The video says 2 teaspoons of paprika but the description says 2 tablespoons. Which is correct?
Giovanni's after the beach really hits the spot! Can't wait to try this recipe.
The metal bowl tip works for the garlic! ❤
oahu hawaii subscriber here!!!!
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!!!
I heard about the shrimp meal from John Taylor Gatto. He noticed a truck years ago from a little lady. So I would try hers first instead of Giovanni s
Ah, I've recently tried this! ❤ as a (non)cook, the recipe is so easy but delicious, I instantly feel like a chef. 😂
I never knew you can eat the shell! Mindblown! Looks delicious 😋
Omg. Jumbo shrimp fried with shell on 👌👌😋 it keeps the shrimp juicy and extra crispy!
You can even eat he tail. Yea. Let that soak in.
I ate the shrimp with the skin on since '92
You can actually eat the whole shrimp (head included)!
Thanks so much for this recipe!!! I made this for dinner tonight and it’s absolutely delish!!! Brings me back to our Hawaiian holidays!!!
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.
Hands down Garlic Shrimp!
It was SOOOOOOO GOOD! Any good garlic shrimp on the Big Island??
Eating them with the shell on is so delicious!
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.
You need to try it! It's the best when fried! It makes it extra crispy and the shrimp meat juicy and delicious!
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
I am so loving this Hawaiian series aloha
🦐🧡🌺
“Alae” is pronounced “uh lie”. And your shrimp honestly looks better than Giovanni’s. But if you are ever back in kahuku, try the Famous Shrimp truck a few blocks away from Giovanni. Even better.
jkhijirida we make it a point to eat at Famous Kahuku Shrimp truck whenever we’re in Hawaii!
Agreed, looks better. I’m going to try it tonight 🤤
Oh my goodness. You are killing me. I can hardly wait to do this.
Them Shrimp Look Delicious
Looks amazing! I love eating crunchy shrimp with the shell on! Even better with the heads on :D
Yum! 🍤 🦐
Trying another dish from you this quarantine!
This is totally worth it just for the garlic hack, I have to try that! But I'm going to do this recipe for my partner's birthday.
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🤙
If i make it without the skin do i put it in the cornstarch as well?
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.
I had never devoured shrimp shell as I did my first plate at Giovannis lol!
Looks absolutely delicious. I eat the shell too, depending on the crunch or lack there of. Thank you🙏🏾!
Calcium in the shell is good for you!
This looks so delicious! I’m definitely going to try this!
I always go to Giovannis!! I can not WAIT to try your recipe!! Yahoo!! Mahalo! 🤙🏼🌈🌺🏝🍧⛰
I cannot wait! Traveling to Oahu for the first time in October.
Where did you find the coconut sriracha?
The garlic shrimp scampi loved it!
Fried shrimp looks cruch and yummy. 👍
Used 1.5 sticks of butter for the garlic sauce with 2 lbs of tiger prawns... mmmm
the plate you serve it on is soo cute
I like your video and the explanation of the process. I was watching another video earlier and when cooking shrimp, the chef said shrimp need to be cooked on high heat. You chose a medium-low heat. I will try it your suggested way next time. Thank you.
This place is AMAZING!!!

Yessss you have to! It’s so delicious and simple to make too!
I love eating shrimp with the shells on! Looking forward to try your recipe. Thank you!
Making this today for my birthday meal! Keto friendly and still yummy 😋 . Thanks for the video!
Looks AMAZING!! Has anyone made this WITHOUT the shell? How did it turn out?
More like the background of a LILO and STITCH Movie 🍿? Maybe that is why I love ❤️ that look!!!
Awesome, well done
I love garlic and shrimp!!! But I usually make Gambas al ajillo because it is so simple. I need a new recipe like this😍👍
Yummm! Glad it helped!
I love your personality!
Omg! extra coat of butter/garlic, genius!
I’m looking for the sitting stretching video you posted. Can you direct me to that pls. Thank you.
It should or will be uploaded on emelines channel :)
Can you still cook it the same way if you take the shells off?
The face when you took a bite!! 😍

I TRIED THIS RECIPE THIS SO GOOODDDDDDD, IT IS LIKE FRIED SHRIMP WITH CHINESE STYLE🥺❤️
Can you please recreate the spicy shrimp!!!!!
love love love giovanni's garlic shrimp and yours looks amazing!
Wow such a fabulous recipe. Love it subbed. -Pawpaw
Wait, you can eat the shell? Does frying it make it easier to eat?
Great presentation in terms of prep and execution. On a whim, I recently started frying my shrimp with the shell on thinking the shell adds more flavor while preventing the shrimp from over-curling and getting rubbery. But my question is this: seeing as you're frying the shrimp with a coating of starch, do you actually eat the shell along with the shrimp?
I typically don't like shrimp but this I have to try!!!
i love the plate too!! its so prettyyy
What store did you buy the siracha? Thanks for the recipe, my daughter visited Hawaii and she loved the shrimp from the food truck
Is the shell a little tough? I feel confused lol I always thought it wasn't good to eat the shell, but it does sound really crunchy and tasty.
The shell is edible, it's not tough in my opinion. The shell is definitely crunchy and holds a lot of the shrimp flavor :)
if it's fried long enough you can eat it
Looks amazing! We’re going to Oahu for our honeymoon in December. Can’t wait to try the real deal
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 🤙🌺
Do you eat the shells
So I can eat the shell?
I made this!!! Followed you along he way 😋😋😋
I could find the salt - I used Himalayan salt instead - still good!
Yummy I love shrimp scampi . I hope all is well with the new edition. 💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have never heard of people eating the shells on shrimp but there's a first for everything I guess. Can you make this dish with out the shells on the shrimp?
I have got to try this. It looks so delicious!
If you on the east side, try bEASTside Kitchen's Garlic Umami Shrimp :) in Waimanalo! world famous white sand beaches too!
Thank you!! I have been looking for a recipe just like this!!!!
