If the shrimp is steamed as a whole, the water will boil and steam for 5 minutes. Because the shrimp itself is very high in protein, almost the whole body for protein, but the whole shrimp steaming because of the shell heat will be slightly impeded, so the steaming time need to be controlled in 5 minutes is better.
If the shrimp for the head steamed, water on the pot steamed 4 minutes to cook. Because the shrimp to the head, shrimp internal moisture will be easier to evaporate, so the shrimp heat will be significantly accelerated, the general steam steam 4 minutes to eat.
