I’ve been food blogging for so long but ngayon ko lang naisip lutuin itong dish na to. Whuuut? I don’t know why it took me such a long time to cook this here at home — maybe it’s Ykaie’s dislike to ketchup. But you know what, this is the Garlic Butter Shrimp that I grew up eating. This is how my nanay cooks shrimp each and every time — Garlic Butter Shrimp with Ketchup.
I love how tasty the sauce is and how different it tastes like with the banana ketchup. I used to wonder what condiments or sauces my nanay adds to the shrimp to make it flavorful. Sus, akalain mong banana ketchup lang pala… hihihi.
GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP WITH KETCHUP RECIPE VIDEO
Ykaie loves Garlic Butter Shrimp and I think na-appreciate nya naman to. When I told her I added ketchup, it kinda had a psychological effect and she ate less. I think she’d learn to love this after a few more tries.
Crossing my fingers because I’m planning on adding this to our menu rotation.

The flavors melded together perfectly, creating a savory and slightly tangy sauce that coated the shrimp beautifully. This dish has earned a spot in my regular recipe rotation—it’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious!

I make garlic butter shrimp frequently but never thought to add ketchup. I bet the ketchup gives it a slightly sweet flavor. I’ll have to try it.
