Kudos for the recipe to Ken and Rene Nakamura, from baseball potluck days.  We always looked forward to their fantastic shrimp hot off the grill!

    • I call them “regular size” – not the big one from Costco. The oyster sauce (use the Chinese brands, read and compare ingredients) bottle is 17 oz, the mayonnaise (I like Best Foods) is 30 oz. Please be aware that the full recipe is HUGE and can marinate 10 lbs of cleaned shrimp.

      I usually approximate a hunk of mayo and a pouring of oyster sauce when I make it for smaller quantity of shrimp, and adjust the whiskey and vodka, using a tablespoon of each. I always use a lot of garlic.

      Hope you love this recipe as much as I do! Mahalo for checking in!
