Steamed shrimp is very particular, not as simple as imagined. If the time for steaming shrimp is too short, it can't be cooked. Steaming shrimp for too long will lead to aging of steamed shrimp and affect its taste. Generally speaking, according to the size of shrimp, it takes about 8- 15 minutes to steam shrimp.

Tips for steaming shrimp:

1, steam with boiling water.

When steaming shrimp, in order to make the shrimp tender and save time, it is best to boil the water before steaming. If the water is boiled and then steamed, then the shrimp meat can be steamed directly at high temperature, and the steaming time can be short, and the steamed meat will be particularly tender. If steamed with cold water, the process of cold water from cold to hot takes a long time, so the meat will get old if steamed for too long.

2. Burning steam

When everyone is steaming shrimp, the firepower must be adjusted. Some people like to steam with a small fire. When they find that the steamed shrimp is not tender at all after a long time, they must steam with a big fire, so that the firepower is sufficient and the heating speed will be faster. The steamed shrimp will be particularly fresh and tender, which can also save time. Therefore, everyone should also make adjustments in firepower.

3. Put more onions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine.

Shrimp is cold food, while ginger is hot. At the same time, onion, ginger and garlic also have the functions of removing fishy smell and refreshing, so when steaming shrimp, you must put some slices of onion, garlic and ginger, but don't cut them into Jiang Mo, because Jiang Mo will be embedded in shrimp meat, which may affect the taste of shrimp. Sprinkle shrimps with onions, ginger and garlic, and then steam them with cooking wine. After steaming, remove onion, ginger and garlic.
