Shrimp & Scallops Teriyaki

Shrimp and scallops teriyaki is a popular dish found in many Japanese or Japanese-fusion restaurants in the USA. The dish typically contains two types of seafood - shrimp and scallops, cooked in a teriyaki sauce.

Teriyaki sauce is a sweet and savory sauce that is commonly used in Japanese cooking. It is made with soy sauce, sake (or mirin), sugar, and sometimes ginger and garlic. This sauce is used to marinate and glaze the shrimp and scallops, giving them a rich and glossy coating.

The shrimp and scallops are usually seared or grilled until they are opaque and slightly caramelized. They are then served over a bed of steamed rice, and garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.

To make shrimp and scallops teriyaki at home, you can follow these general steps:

1. Prepare the teriyaki sauce by mixing equal parts of soy sauce and sake (or mirin) with sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer until it thickens.

2. Clean the shrimp and scallops and pat them dry with a paper towel.

3. Sear or grill the shrimp and scallops until they are cooked through.

4. Brush the teriyaki sauce over the shrimp and scallops until they are coated evenly.

5. Serve the shrimp and scallops over steamed rice, and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
