Do you know how to boil prawns?

Shrimp meat is very plump and elastic, and it has high nutritional value, so I believe many people cannot resist shrimp meat, right? Boiled prawns are the most easily accessible of our home-cooked dishes. Now let’s take a look at how to make them.

1. If you want to eat boiled shrimps, you can choose to cook them with female shrimps (commonly known as fry shrimps). For example, 500 grams of Yangtze River shrimp: add some water first, not too much, just make sure the water in the pot can slightly cover the shrimp. Add some MSG, chicken essence (optional, depending on personal preference), a few slices of ginger, a little chili (optional), some salt. After the water boils, put the shrimps in immediately, cover and cook for one or two minutes. When the shrimps turn red, add some green onions, cover and cook for another three minutes. Add a few drops of authentic sesame oil and it is ready to serve. The uniqueness of the Yangtze River shrimps I cook lies in those few drops of sesame oil, because Yangtze River shrimps are different from ordinary river shrimps. Since they are wild, they have a stronger fishy smell than river shrimps, so the few drops of sesame oil are to remove the fishy smell. The taste of Yangtze River shrimps with sesame oil and without sesame oil is completely different. It can be said that boiled Yangtze River shrimps with sesame oil are a rare delicacy. Add a bottle of ice-cold beer, haha, don’t even mention it!

2. The method of blanching shrimp is relatively simple. The key is to make sure the shrimp is fresh. The shrimp meat will be elastic when it is cooked with live shrimp. Many people think that boiled shrimps are just boiled in water and then taken out. In fact, that is a misunderstanding of the literal meaning. There are still several steps to boil shrimps!

1. First, add a little oil to the pan, and when the oil is 7 layers hot, add garlic and ginger slices and stir-fry them briefly. Then pour in an appropriate amount of water, and then pour a little cooking wine and salt into the pan and boil.

2. It takes some time to boil the water in the pot. During this time, wash and cut the live shrimps.
