There are many ways to cook prawns , including steamed, boiled, braised, etc. Among these methods, I like to cook them the most. The shrimp is tender, smooth, and very elastic.
But when making boiled shrimp, most people boil it directly , and the meat quality of the shrimp will be old and woody, and the fishy smell will be very strong. Do you do the same?
If you are still using this wrong method, let me tell you today, three secrets to keep in mind when making boiled shrimp , this is the method used by the seaside people, what are you waiting for? Let's learn together.
3 tips to keep in mind when making poached shrimp
1. Buy fresh shrimp
The most important thing in making boiled shrimp is a word of freshness. If the shrimp you buy is dead or not fresh, then its taste will be greatly affected.
Therefore , when buying prawns, be sure to buy the kind that are alive and kicking . After buying the prawns, you must cook them immediately to prevent them from dying due to lack of oxygen.
The death time of shrimp meat, once more than two hours, its meat quality will become very fishy , it is not suitable for cooking shrimp, it will be very unpalatable.
2. Shrimp meat should be pot under warm water
When cooking shrimp, are you still in cold water or hot water? This approach is wrong.
Cooking in cold water will increase the heating time of the shrimp, and the meat will become old. If you put it in hot water, the shrimp will shrink due to the large temperature difference between the water temperature and the taste, and the taste will also become old.
Therefore , when cooking shrimp, the best temperature is 60 degrees , which can not only solve the problem that the shrimp meat is heated for too long, but also solve the problem that the meat quality becomes old due to the high temperature.
3. Add onion, ginger, cooking wine
The last thing to note is that when making boiled shrimp, onion, ginger, and cooking wine are all essential ingredients to remove the fishy smell. They are also called the three-piece set of fishy removal.
If you boil it directly, the fishy smell in the shrimp cannot be removed. After adding these three kinds of deodorizing ingredients, it can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the aroma of the shrimp.
If you don't have cooking wine at home, you can also use beer to replace cooking wine, but remember not to use white wine , because the alcohol content of white wine is too high, which will affect the taste of shrimp.
