  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or other neutral-flavored cooking oil
  • 1 pound large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free diets)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 of a fresh lemon)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (leave out the sugar for keto and low-carb diets)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pour the oil into a flat griddle or into a large skillet (at least 10 inches). Put the skillet over medium-high heat and let the oil heat up for a few minutes.
  2. Carefully add the shrimp into the skillet. Let the shrimp cook for 2 minutes, then turn them over. Add the soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet and let the shrimp cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Use tongs to remove the shrimp to a serving plate.
  4. To make the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  5. Serve the cooked shrimp with your choice of cooked vegetables, rice, or noodles, with the Yum Yum Sauce on the side.

Notes

  1. You can use shrimp with the tails on or the tails off for this recipe.
  2. If you want to use frozen shrimp, make sure you have fully defrosted the shrimp overnight in the refrigerator before using.
  3. If you don’t have a flat griddle for your stovetop, then you can use a large skillet for this recipe.
  4. If you are on a Whole30 or low-sugar diet, leave out the sugar in the sauce and be sure to use sugar-free ketchup.
