To prepare shrimps before frying them, salt, starch, egg white, white pepper, a little lemon juice or rice vinegar are generally used. Mix them evenly and make a thin paste, then set them aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
You can use frozen shrimps or fresh live shrimps to fry shrimps. For live shrimps, remove the shrimp heads, shrimp threads and shrimp shells. For frozen shrimps, remove the shrimp threads, no matter what kind of shrimps are used. , it is best to have a knife on the back, which will not only make it easier to mature, but also easier to taste. The processed shrimps should be rinsed several times with clean water first. Then use a clean towel or kitchen paper to absorb the moisture on the surface of the cleaned shrimp. This will make it easier for the shrimp to absorb the flavor, and also ensure that the shrimp will not come out of pulp.
The flavor of stir-fried shrimp is very light, so the amount of seasoning added is very small. We only need to add 2 grams of edible salt to enhance the flavor, 1 gram of white pepper and 6 grams of cooking wine. To remove the fishy smell and add flavor, that's it. Nothing else is needed. Then gently mix the shrimp and seasoning with your hands, so that the shrimp seasoning step is completed.
