Creamy Garlic Shrimps & Goat Cheese

I finally got a Costco membership this year after not having renewed it for the past two years.  The Costco’s in Japan are a little different in terms of products offered.  Not many organic things and most products are Japanese (miso soup, rice, dried fish, beans, etc) so I usually just go there for the meat and cheese.

I got myself that huge double pack of goat cheese since they don’t sell it anywhere else in my city.  To be honest, I’ve been eating it by the spoon more often than cooking with it haha. But since I had some shrimps on hand, I thought it would go really well with them.

This easy dish really doesn’t need any time to make.  Just fry the shrimps up for a couple of minutes and you’re good to go! So if you’re short on time, definitely try this out!

If you’re not too fond of goat cheese, you could always try using a milder cheese like ricotta or mascarpone.
