In this recipe, succulent shrimp is tossed in buttery umami goodness. If you’ve never tried miso butter sauce I promise you’ll be doing a happy dance in your kitchen because it is so incredibly delicious and easy to make. Sake, soy sauce, miso paste, chicken broth and oyster sauce come together in an irresistible combination sure to turn a simple family night dinner into a special treat. I like to get premium oyster sauce from the gourmet section at Cost Plus World Market.
