Boiled shrimp practice is simple, only need to cook with water on the line, but why some people cook it? Boiled shrimp is old and fishy, not good at all. Boiled shrimp is the most original practice, it should be very delicious, if you also do not know how to cook, learn the right way with me.
The second uncle is a restaurant chef, he told me, boiled shrimp can not wait until the water is open and then put it in to cook, master the 4 key skills, to ensure that the shrimp meat and fragrant and tender, not fishy at all.
Cooking shrimp skills
1, try to cook shrimp alive
Live shrimp is the freshest, cooked meat tender. But once the shrimp is dead, the bacteria in the body will multiply, resulting in shrimp deterioration. Many people like to pick out the shrimp line, so cleaner, and so all are picked out of the shrimp is also dead, it will deteriorate, resulting in taste, flavor deterioration.
In fact, live shrimp is not necessary to pick the line of shrimp, intestines inside quite clean, water washing 2 times directly on the line. Chilled dead shrimp can be picked shrimp line, but the speed should be fast, if the temperature rises, it is also easy to deteriorate.
2, direct cold water in the pot, not cover the lid.
To shrimp deodorization, we will add some onion, ginger, cooking wine, if the boiling water in the pot, the protein will be immediately denatured, the fishy flavor locked inside the meat, fishy flavor will not be able to evaporate.
The correct practice is to wash the live shrimp, directly cold water in the pot, add onions and ginger, cooking wine, do not cover the lid, open high heat to cook. As the water temperature rises, the fishy flavor will be removed with the volatilization of wine, prawns will not have a fishy taste. And boiling water cooking shrimp fishy flavor is particularly large, cooled also have fishy taste.
3, cook red after fishing
Some people will say that cold water cooking time is long, in fact, cooking shrimp do not have to look at the time, regardless of the cold water or boiling water cooking, there is a standard, is the color of the shrimp red, the body after bending can be.
Shrimp meat is relatively tender, is very good cooked, from the pot to boil, basically 3 ~ 5 minutes time is cooked.
4, soaked in ice water after cooking
Want to shrimp firm Q elastic, don't eat directly after cooking, should be soaked in ice water for a few minutes, so that the shrimp meat contraction, so that the texture has become firm, eat especially popping teeth. If you don't have ice, you should also soak it in cold water.
The following look at the specific method of boiled shrimp, very simple, pay attention to the above said a few skills, to ensure that the shrimp and the restaurant to do the same good, tender and no fishy flavor.
Prepare live shrimp, green onions, ginger, cooking wine, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili oil.
1, live shrimp rinsed with water, do not have to go to the shrimp line, directly into the pot of cold water, add green onions, ginger, cooking wine, and then a spoonful of salt, no matter what shrimp cooking, salt is not to be underestimated. Salt can make the shrimp flavor, stimulate the shrimp's own freshness, the flavor is more fresh.
2, shrimp in the pot, do not cover the lid, open the fire heating, so that the fishy flavor with the heat and evaporate, so that the shrimp cooked out of the shrimp will not have a fishy taste.
3, after the water boiled continue to cook for a while, pay attention to observe, when the prawns change color bent, red color, immediately fish out, and then cook on the soft.
