Shrimp sautéed in butter and paired with creamy aioli sauce is absolutely delicious!
It’s simple to make and perfect for lunch.
Aioli is a traditional dish from Catalonia, Spain.
It’s often described as “garlic mayonnaise.” (Reference: Wikipedia)
I enjoyed aioli when I had it at a Spanish restaurant in Japan, served alongside paella.
The garlicky mayo flavor goes perfectly with seafood and vegetables!
Ingredients
| Tortilla | 1 |
| Shrimp | 100g |
| Butter | 1 tbsp |
| [Aioli Sauce] | |
| Mayonnaise | 1 tbsp |
| Olive oil | 1 tsp |
| Milk | 1/2 tsp |

| Garlic paste (or 1 small clove grated) | 1 tsp |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |

How to Make
1⃣ Lightly season the shrimp with salt.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan and sauté the shrimp.
2⃣ Mix all the aioli sauce ingredients in a bowl.
3⃣ Spread the aioli sauce over the tortilla, place the shrimp on top, and heat for about 1 minute in a clean pan (wipe out the butter from the shrimp pan first).
4⃣ Roll up the tortilla using a spatula.
I actually discovered aioli when I was living in Australia.
My French roommate made a sauce one day and asked, “Want to dip your shrimp in this?”
It was so good, but I never caught the name of the sauce. For years I wondered what it was.
Just mixing mayo and garlic never tasted quite right…
Then one day at a Spanish restaurant, I realized—this is aioli!
When I recreated it at home, I was thrilled to finally get it right.
