Ama Ebi

Ama Ebi is a Japanese shrimp dish.

A variety of shrimp called “Northern Shrimp” is shelled, and the head and veins are removed.

The shrimp are served raw on a block of rice. Sometimes the shells are deep-fried separately, then served on the side.

The shrimp tastes very sweet. Pregnant female shrimps are the most prized.

Language Notes

“Ama ebi” means “sweet shrimp” in Japanese

‘I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure.’ — Anthony Bourdain (American food writer. 15 June 1956 – 8 June 2018)
