Shrimp, this delicious seafood delicacy, is loved by the majority of diners. Its rich nutritional value and high-quality taste make shrimp occupy an important position in all kinds of banquets. Shrimp can be eaten in a variety of ways, from braised to fried, steamed and boiled, each of which can show the unique taste characteristics of shrimp. Today, I want to share with you this method of boiled shrimp.
The preparation method of boiled shrimp is simple, and the original flavor of the shrimp is preserved as much as possible, so that people can fully enjoy the deliciousness of the shrimp meat. But if you want to cook a plate of delicious boiled shrimp, it is essential to deal with details. When many people cook shrimp, they will find that the shrimp they cook does not taste good, and even sometimes has a strong fishy smell. In fact, this is often caused by the wrong ingredient added.
When boiling shrimp, it is not enough to add ginger and salt. If you want the shrimp meat to be not fishy, you must also add more "these two flavors", that is, white wine and Sichuan pepper. First of all, we need to clean the Jiwei shrimp and then soak them in clean water for about half an hour, which can better remove impurities and fishy smell from the shrimp. Next, remove the shrimp, wash them again and set aside.
Next, cut the ginger into shreds while preparing the appropriate amount of peppercorns. Bring an appropriate amount of water to a boil, then add the shredded ginger and peppercorns to the pot and continue to cook for about a minute. At this point, put the Jiwei shrimp in a pot and add a little white wine and salt. After boiling on high heat for about a minute, observe the state of the shrimp, and when you see the shrimp tail curled up and the shrimp shell color slightly red, you can turn off the heat. After cooking, soak the shrimp in ice water for a while, which will increase the elasticity of the shrimp meat and make it easier for the shrimp shell to fall off. Finally, drain the shrimp, arrange them on a plate and dip them in your favorite sauce and serve.
In addition to the two seasonings mentioned above, you can also add other favorite toppings according to your personal taste. For example, garlic, coriander, chili, etc. are all common pairing choices. In addition, the time of boiling shrimp also needs to be paid attention to. If you cook it for too long, the shrimp will become too soft and lose its original tasteIf the cooking time is too short, the shrimp meat will be undercooked, which will affect the food safety.
In addition to boiled shrimp, there are other methods of processing shrimp that are also very popular. For example, braised prawns in oil and shrimp with minced garlic are all classic practices. Each method brings out the best in the shrimp. While tasting the shrimp meat, we can also eat it with some other dishes to enrich the taste and nutritional needs of the table.
In short, no matter what method is used to process shrimp meat, you need to have a certain understanding and mastery of the ingredients. With the right cooking skills and ingredient combinations, we are able to create a variety of delicious shrimp dishes. Behind these delicacies, there is also our love for food and passion for life. I hope that every friend who loves food can find their own happiness and satisfaction in the process of tasting shrimp meat.
