Why go out when you can make your very own Japanese Steakhouse-Style Shrimp Dinner at home? This dinner is just as tasty as the restaurant version and you won’t be forced to watch another onion volcano!
Cook the rice according to package directions. Allow to cool.
Add 1 TBSP butter to a wok over medium-high heat. Add eggs and scramble. Remove to a bowl.
Add 1 TBSP butter to the wok again and add the diced onion. Cook 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add shredded carrots and garlic to the onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften, but are still crisp. Add peas and cook for 1 minute just to take the chill off.
Add the white rice to the veggies in the wok. Stir everything together.
Add the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, 1 TBSP butter and the cooked egg. Mix well together.
Spread the rice out around the wok and the woks sides, patting it down so it will crisp up. Allow to cook 1-2 minutes undisturbed and then stir. Repeat once or twice more until you get desired crispness on rice. Top with green onions, if using. Rice can hang out and wait for you to finish cooking the shrimp and veggies.
Cooking the Zucchini-
Add 1 TBSP of vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until it softens and slightly browns, about 3-4 minutes.
Add zucchini and cook for 2 minutes until zucchini starts to soften.
Add the teriyaki and soy sauce and turn up the heat to high to reduce the sauce and carmelize the veggies. Cook for about another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and season with black pepper and top with toasted sesame seeds.
Coooking the Shrimp-
Heat 1 TBSP of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Add butter, garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, teriyaki and the lemon juice. Toss the shrimp around to coat in the sauce.
Let the shrimp sit (undisturbed) in the sauce over high heat for another 1-2 minutes per side. You want to develop a nice carmelize sear on the Shrimp so make sure they are cooking spread out in one layer.
