Ebi-Mayo (エビマヨ) is a common home-cooked Japanese dish representing “ebi” (meaning shrimps in Japanese) cooked with sauce which consists of mayo (short for mayonnaise). The shrimps in this dish are usually fried first for some crisp before coating with the sauce. This recipe however is a simplified version where the fried step is eliminated.
