Is it cold water or hot water to boil shrimp? With the wrong water, it's no wonder that the shrimp meat is not fresh and smelly

 

 

 【Brine shrimp production】:

1. Prepare the ingredients: live shrimp, green onions, and ginger. It must be live shrimp, frozen shrimp is not suitable for this dish.

When you buy live shrimp at the market, ask the seller for some water and keep them in the water until they are washed when they are cooked.

2. Take a casserole, pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, add green onions and ginger, bring to a boil, and add salt to taste.

The point is that only green onions and ginger are used here, not other spices, this is not to make braised beef. I saw that some people use Sichuan pepper, saying that it is to remove the fish, it can indeed be fishy, but it also covers the original taste of the shrimp, so it is not called saltwater shrimp, it is better to change the name to Sichuan pepper shrimp.

3. Let the green onion and ginger water boil for 1 minute, cook the green onion and ginger flavor (this can play a lot of the function of green onion and ginger to remove the fish), then pour the shrimp into the pot, quickly stir evenly, soak in water, and cook over high heat.

4. After boiling, cook for another 1-2 minutes, the shrimp roll into a ball, and the soup has just begun to have red oil floating, and it is cooked, immediately remove it and put it on the plate, do not soak it in the water.

5. Next, adjust a soul dip shrimp sauce, take a small bowl and put in minced ginger, pour some balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce or oyster sauce and sesame oil, and then scoop a few spoonfuls of fresh soup for boiled shrimp, the sauce will be adjusted, pay attention to be sure not to use monosodium glutamate, that is, to eat the freshness of shrimp.

Tips:

Boiling shrimp is not in a pot under cold water, nor is it an ordinary pot under hot water, but with boiling a few boils of green onion and ginger water.

The water is boiled again, and the soup is slightly red, so that the shrimp cooked in this way are fresh and tender. The water in which the shrimp are boiled is also delicious, and a few small greens and a few pieces of tofu are added to make a seafood and greens tofu soup.
