Cooking is something easy, but coming up with the idea is so hard. If you can relate, please leave a comment. As the only person who can cook at home, I sometimes get burn out on cooking ideas, if no one in the family offers suggestions. But, food must go. I must be to cook something for lunch and I really want to keep it simple.
I have 500 gr of shrimp, so I'm at a loss for what to cook today. I create a poll on social media. They said making shrimp with black pepper sauce is quite simple and delicious. So I thought about making that dish.
One thing I love about the meal plan is that I've already prepared minced garlic. This is the best hack; if you need garlic and want to cook quickly, it's essential.
With this many shrimp, I think this will be a special dish. Okay! I'll be cooking with the following ingredients:
- 500 grams of large shrimp
- 1 tablespoon of garlic (about 3-4 cloves)
- Black pepper to taste
- Oyster sauce, salted sauce, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and fish oil.
- A little butter for a more aromatic flavor; you can also substitute sesame oil.
Sautee the finely ground garlic in the butter. Use just enough butter, or a little more for a richer flavor. Then, add the clean shrimp in your wok pan.
I mixed the sauces in one bowl for convenience, while waiting for the shrimp to turn slightly orange. Shrimp will change color when exposed to heat, indicating they're half cooked.
Add all the sauces and a little salt, just a little because I'm using salted butter. Then, I let them sit for 5 minutes so they can soak into the shrimp.
This is my lunch menu today. I really like the savory taste, which is all there is to it thanks to the rich, dominant sauce. With warm white rice, this little vegetable stew will be a real crowd-pleaser.
See you the next time hive friends!

Hi! Let me introduce myself, its me Wita.
I'm just a woman who wants to write whatever's on my mind. I really enjoy cooking, occasionally traveling, and doing whatever I like. I want to live like a bird flying freely in nature. But I know I'm only human. So, I can only write freely like a bird that can fly with its two wings.
I'm usually very interested in new things. Let me be creative with at least these writings. I welcome any suggestions, as long as you mention them politely in the comments section. We can have a free discussion every now and then.
Don't think too much of me as you see in my posts. I'm just sharing what I have, and some of it is actually quite enjoyable to post. It's just that I don't really like posting bad things. I hope we continue to work together to build this Hive community.
