Specific method of washing shrimp: four steps

1. Remove the shrimp intestines

The shrimp tail has three parts. You can pull the middle part to pull out the shrimp intestine.

2. Use a brush to clean the shrimp

3. Remove the shrimp heads. There is a black thing inside the shrimp heads. This is very dirty and must be removed. The yellow thing inside is shrimp oil. You must keep it. Shrimp oil is very fragrant. Some people like to eat it and some people don’t, but you can cook them together and it will be more fragrant.

4. Open the shrimp back. It is easier to use scissors. I have tried it many times and found that it is better than a kitchen knife. Use scissors to cut from the butt end of the shrimp upwards. It is very easy to cut open the back of the shrimp, making it easier for the flavor to enter.

5 First, soak the shrimp in clean water for half an hour, then change to a basin of water and put white vinegar in it and soak for half an hour. All the dirt on the shrimp will fall off. You will find that the water is full of black dirt. Because the water is acidic at this time, the shrimp will spit out all the dirt in its mouth, including the gills in the head, etc., as well as the abdomen, feet, and tail. The dirt that is difficult to brush will become soft and can be easily removed with a light brush. It will be very clean and very white. Finally, cut the head to remove the cramps!

6. Make a small crack on the side of the shrimp head and use running water to flush out the stains inside the shrimp head. I always do this, especially when eating hot pot, otherwise the whole pot will be filled with yellow foam.

7Is there a stain in the shrimp head? Generally, you only need to use a toothpick to shave off the shrimp thread on the back of the shrimp. The shrimp head contains the shrimp brain. When making braised prawns, it is best to use a spatula to press the shrimp head more, so that the shrimp brain will come out, and the soup will be red even without ketchup.
