My recent trip to Hawaii inspired me to prepare this delicious recipe.

Nag food truck hunting po kami doon so abangan nyo yung ating full Hawaii food trip vlog coming soon.

And isa sa mga talagang nagustuhan ko, na napawawa ko is this pineapple shrimp.

This is inspired by, of course, the local ingredients that you can find in Hawaii and with Korean flavors.

So let's try to cook or imitate this Pineapple Shrimps.

So first, let's start with the base.

It's super duper easy to do, I'm already heating the oil in my all-purpose pot.

And I have here peeled shrimps, just remove the tail and the veins, okay?

So just put it on your bowl and I'm going to season this with some salt.

Season it with some salt.

Lemon juice or calamansi juice.

I put a piece of egg.

And some potato starch.

You put the potato starch there.

If you don't have potato starch, you can use cassava starch.

It can also be cornstarch, okay?

Once it's coated like this.

Just be a bit careful because the tail of the shrimp is a bit slanted.

Once it's coated like that, you're gonna soak it one by one on your potato starch.

I still have one potato starch here.

I'm gonna make it as 8 pieces first.

Is my oil ready?

I'm just gonna increase it a bit.

I'm going to prepare around 8 pieces.

If you're not fond of shrimps, you can always use chicken.

But in Hawaii, there are a lot of shrimp farms.

That's why they really have a lot of dishes that use shrimps.

So there.

So our oil is hot already.

I think I'm ready to fry this.

Okay.

It's not yet.

Sorry.

You turn the fire on.

So there, you just leave that one piece there.

It's still a bit hot, I'm gonna wash my hands first.

Okay, so there.

It looks like it's hot already.

You just put it one by one.

So that the oil won't cool down.

Okay.

And then this is what I'm gonna bread.

Very nice!

So just a bit more.

So there.

We're gonna fry all of the shrimps first before we prepare the sauce.

So when you can hear the oil that becomes a bit peaceful.

It means that your shrimps are almost ready.

We can now remove it.

Nice and crisp.

And then let's fry the second batch.

When you put it like that, don't shake it first.

So that the crust would form a bit.

The breading wouldn't be removed.

Okay.

So there, we have fried our shrimps already.

They're nice and crisp.

Now, let's prepare the delicious pineapple sauce.

So this one, I tested this.

I think I'm gonna do this 4 times already.

Because I tested it many times.

I really want to get the taste of what we ate in Hawaii.

And I feel that it's a bit successful but it's up to you to judge it.

It's super yum.

It's also perfect for fried chicken.

First, I have here crushed pineapples.

Approximately 2 cans.

2 small cans of crushed pineapples.

I will blend it.

Along with honey.

I have here honey.

Make sure you use pure honey.

There are a lot of honey that is not pure.

What do you do to honey that is not pure?

You leave it, I'm just kidding.

So you pour it in there.

Because the other one, this one is really honey.

The other one is sugar, right?

That they melt it.

And this is Korean Red Chili Paste or Gochujang.

So I'm just gonna put half of it first

because some might not like it super spicy.

I just put half and then I will blend it.

Okay.

Smells so good.

And then you pour it on your wok.

We will make it thick.

Okay.

So I'm going to bring this to a boil.

And then I have here some slurry.

This is just cornstarch diluted in water.

For it to be more thick.

But actually if you are patient, you can reduce it.

I want to taste it to see if I need to adjust the seasoning.

You can add soy sauce, even soy sauce.

Good but it's a bit salty.

A little bit of salt.

Of course, you can use fresh pineapples.

You just blend the fresh pineapples.

Oh my! It's so delicious.

I'm going to bring this to a boil for around 5 minutes

before I put the slurry.

Just for the flavor to develop more.

Okay.

And now, I'm going to put the slurry.

You put it a bit first.

You want it thick enough that it can coat the shrimps.

Okay, this looks good to me.

But this sauce, I really added it so that I have it on the side.

So I will reduce it a bit.

Okay, you reduce it a bit.

And then here, I'm going to toss my shrimps.

So there.

I'll finish this with a splash of sesame oil.

Okay.

Turn off the flame and put a good splash of sesame oil.

Oh! That's it.

I controlled myself.

I didn't put a lot of sesame oil.

Now, let's taste this.

Okay, before I taste it.

Garnish it with a bit of spring onions for it to be colorful.

And then, this needs rice.

That's why I have rice here.

And because it needs to be newly cooked, that's why I didn't plate it.

Look at the color of the sauce when you put it on the rice.

It's reddish, yellowish.

Really, we use real pineapples but in can.

You may also use it fresh.

So I will taste it first.

The rice first with the sauce.

This is really it.

This is really it.

The taste is really like this.

And now the shrimp.

I remember when I eat it, it's like a cocktail food that you're holding it like that.

So good.

Since the shrimp is perfectly breaded, the flavors of the pineapple sauce really stick together.

So good.

What are you waiting for?

Have a taste of Hawaii.

Make this Pineapple Shrimps really good already.

And remember, wait for the Hawaii Food Trip vlog.

See you soon.

Thank you for watching!
