When cooking shrimp, be sure not to cook it directly in the pot! With this extra step, the shrimp meat is tender and not fishy!

Shrimp has always been my favorite food.

Although it may be a little expensive, but now that people's living standards have improved, it is still affordable to eat a meal to satisfy their cravings.

When I went to the vegetable market today, I saw that the prawns were very fresh and the meat was very plump, so I bought some.

There are many ways to cook shrimp, but people who really know how to eat shrimp should prefer boiled or steamed.

Because in this way, the umami of the shrimp itself can be stimulated and displayed to the greatest extent.

Although in terms of taste, it may not be as fragrant as other methods, but the umami taste is definitely on a higher level.

Moreover, boiled shrimp can retain nutrients to the greatest extent and will not be lost.

Although it is relatively simple to cook shrimp, it is more difficult to cook the shrimp meat that is tender and has no fishy smell.

There are many people who cook the shrimp, the taste is very old, the shrimp meat is hard, and it is very fishy.

What is the reason for this?

Why can't the shrimp cooked at home not have the delicious and slightly sweet taste of the restaurant?

Below I will teach you the steps and skills of cooking shrimp to ensure that the cooked shrimp is delicious.

【Boiled prawns】

Ingredients: prawns, scallions, turmeric, peppercorns

Seasoning: salt cooking wine

Detailed practice:

The first step is to cut the back of the fresh prawn with scissors, pick out the shrimp line and throw it away.

Then rinse with water and soak in water for five minutes.

Scallions and turmeric are cut into slices for later use.

The second step, add water to the pot, put the onion and ginger slices into the pot, add a few peppercorns, cooking wine, salt, boil for three minutes after boiling.

Tip: It is important to add this extra step to increase the aroma of the shrimp. Some people cook it directly in the pot, and the taste will definitely be greatly reduced.

The third step is to put the prawns into the pot and cook for about 4 minutes. If the shrimp you bought are bigger, cook them for 6 minutes.

Tip: When cooking shrimp, you must boil the pot under water. I found that many people like to cook in cold water, which is wrong.

If boiled in cold water, the shrimp will cook very slowly, have a strong fishy smell, and taste bad.

But cooking with hot water is different. After the fresh shrimp is placed in the pot, it can be cooked quickly and can fully retain its freshness.

Step 5: After the shrimp is cooked, take it out immediately and put it on a plate.

Take a small bowl, add minced ginger, balsamic vinegar, a few drops of sesame oil and mix well. When eating shrimp, dip it and eat it, it tastes absolutely delicious.

I also have the experience of cooking shrimp, that is, when the small white foam appears in the pot, it can be fished out. The shrimp at this time are the most tender, but already cooked.

Some people will cook until there is a lot of foam in the pot, and the water turns yellow and red, so it is a little old.

Dear readers, the above are some of my cooking skills and experience.

Don't forget to try it when you cook shrimp in the future, it's guaranteed to be delicious.
