From April to May, it is the fattest time for Pipi shrimp. At this time, the meat of Pipi shrimp is full and full of red paste. Anyone who can eat seafood knows that according to the season, Pippi shrimp has little meat in other seasons, and its shell is hard, so it is hard to eat and there is no meat. But at this time, Pippi shrimp is the best. The shrimp shell is full of meat. Peeling the shrimp shell and eating a prawn meat is the most enjoyable. The shrimp meat of Pippi shrimp is different from ordinary shrimp meat, and its shrimp meat is more tender and delicious. At this time, Pipi shrimp is about 30 yuan a catty, which is a little more expensive than other seasons, but it has more meat, so it doesn't lose money.

You should also learn to distinguish between male and female when buying Pipi shrimp, because the female shrimp has red paste, and the male shrimp is full of meat, but the red paste tastes more fragrant. It's very simple to distinguish between male and female. Pick up Pippi shrimp and look at its abdomen. If there is red paste, it looks obvious and deep.

In addition to distinguishing between male and female, we also have to choose, don't buy dead shrimp, choose the more active Pippi shrimp, because the dead shrimp has been soaked in water for a long time, and the shrimp meat is loose and tender. But dead shrimp will be cheaper. It's still delicious to buy some scrambled eggs or fried rice cakes at home.

How to cook Pippi shrimp is also very important. Many people make mistakes. Some people steam it and others boil it, but they are all wrong. Old fishermen have their own methods, and the shrimp meat they make is more tender and delicious. Today, I will share the old fisherman's method with you. Steaming and boiling are all wrong, and I will teach you the correct way.

Correct practice of Pipi shrimp:

First of all, we clean the shrimp, put the shrimp in a pot, add some baking soda and stir it evenly, then rinse it with water. Baking soda can take away the dirty things and then rinse them clean, so that Pipi shrimp can cook and eat safely.

Then take out the shrimp, drain the water, put it directly into the pot, cover it without adding water, and simmer it over low heat. Shrimp Pippi has its own water, which will produce water during cooking, so you don't have to worry about burning the pot.

Finally, when there is a sound of water boiling in the pot, stew for another 2 minutes, and then turn off the fire. After another 3 minutes, the shrimp meat will be cooked and ready to go out.

This is the most correct way to do this. Steamed and boiled shrimp are not as delicious as this, and the delicious taste of Pipi shrimp is preserved to the maximum extent. Some people think that peeling shrimp is troublesome, so the boiled shrimp is also easy to peel, and the shrimp meat will not stick to the shrimp shell. There are also skills in peeling Pipi shrimp. You don't need scissors and chopsticks. You break the head of the shrimp with your hands, then press both sides of Pipi shrimp, squeeze it hard, and the shrimp meat and shell are separated. Finally, you can peel the shell easily.
