30 minutes

Shrimp yakitori with vegetables, mushrooms, and sauce is a refined dish of Japanese cuisine that combines tender shrimp, fresh vegetables, and a fragrant sauce providing a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity. This recipe is inspired by traditional Japanese yakitori skewers usually cooked over coals but adapted for a grill pan here. The dish is characterized by its lightness and subtle flavor: seafood absorbs the rich aroma of lime, oyster, and fish sauce while vegetables add juiciness and texture. Served on soba noodles makes it a complete lunch or dinner, while the contrast of soft noodles with crunchy sprouts enhances the gastronomic pleasure. It's an excellent treat for those who appreciate Japanese cuisine and want to try something new that is easy to prepare yet impressive in taste and appearance.
