View ProfileGarlic lovers, this one’s for you! Inspired by the traditional Hawaiian dish, Chef Esther sautés plump, succulent shrimp in a luscious sauce of butter, paprika, and lots of garlic, which becomes irresistibly sweet as it cooks. She spoons it on a bed of fluffy white rice with a side of another island favorite, Creamy Macaroni Salad—al dente elbow pasta and grated carrots swaddled in umami-rich Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise. Sweet grilled pineapple and fresh parsley are the perfect garnishes to complement all the incredible flavors, textures, and colors of this indulgent, flavor-packed meal.
