1. Shrimp is a food with very soft meat. Cooking it for too long will damage its nutritional value.

2. Shrimp are usually boiled in white water. Generally speaking, the heating time is different depending on the size of the shrimp. After the pot is boiled, add the shrimp. If the shrimp is larger, it will take about 5 minutes. If they are small, usually 2-3 minutes is enough. When the shrimp turns red, it means they are cooked.

Extended information:

1. Wash the prawns, pick out the shrimp threads, and cut off the shrimp tentacles. You can omit them. The main reason is that the shrimp tentacles look messy, and it will be much cleaner if you cut them off. .

2. Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot. You can stir-fry a little more than usual. Use low heat. Do not heat the oil. Add the Pixian bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant. The fire must be low.

3. Add onion, ginger and garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant.

4. Add appropriate amount of water, no need to add too much, otherwise the taste will be weak, then adjust the heat to medium.

5. After the water boils, turn down the heat, cover the pot and simmer for a while to let the flavor of the seasonings boil into the water.

6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions, ginger and garlic from the soup. This step can be omitted. Turn up the heat, add the prawns and cook.

7. After the shrimp changes color and bends, you can take it out. Take a large bowl and arrange the shrimp into the shape you like. The soup is also poured into the bowl.

8. In another pot, add more oil and lower the heat. When the oil is not yet heated, add the dried chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns. When the oil temperature is not high, add the chili peppers. It is easier for the aroma to come out. The chili will not be burnt.

9. When the color of the dried chili begins to darken, it’s ready. Just pour it directly on the prawns and it’s ready.
