Recipe: Yum Yum Edamame

Yum Yum Edamame with Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp.

I was making Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp and wanted to add a veggie element. Yum Yum Edamame was a huge hit. The startling contrast of lemon juice and sesame oil cuts through the richness of butter and garlic and would do well as a side with any grilled protein. I found the recipe here, attributing it to this cookbook (affiliate link). She uses it with sugar snap peas; I think it would work with snow peas as well. Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients:
1 lb shelled edamame
¼ c lemon juice
2 t toasted sesame oil
1 T toasted sesame seeds
Generous pinch pink Hawaiian salt, or Kosher salt, or a dash of soy sauce

Method: cook the edamame in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and drain. Combine with other ingredients. Serve Yum Yum Edamame as a side dish or pupu-style finger food.
