This Ebi Mayo recipe calls for Japanese mayonnaise. Japanese mayonnaise is quite different in taste to American mayonnaise. If you just made a face of disgust, due to thought of eating American mayonnaise, I’m with you and let me tell you, this taste nothing like it. You might actually really enjoy it. And if you do enjoy American mayonnaise, you may also enjoy this different tasting mayonnaise.

If you have a Japanese supermarket in your area, like Nijiya, they should carry Japanese mayonnaise. However, if not, or you want to create an easy to make organic version, I got your covered. Click the link to see my Japanese mayonnaise recipe.

This dish is also super easy to make, so it’s one of my go to dishes when I don’t have much time or want an quick and easy night. I love the colors in this dish and if you have a good source for high quality shrimp and organic broccoli, this dish is amazing. I like all my dishes to be subtle enough to where you really enjoy the taste by the simplicity of the protein and main ingredients.

The sauce or flavoring in a dish should never be the most important thing. Usually, it means you are hiding the taste and quality of the ingredients you are using. Sadly, this is why we don’t eat out that often, as too many restaurants procure very low quality ingredients. Which is a shame, because I’m sure their cooking skill and recipes are quite good, but I can always taste the low quality ingredients. No fun…as my husband would say…life is too short to not enjoy good food!
