You must have seen this kind of shrimp on the Internet, which looks bigger and longer than a human arm, and it can't be stuffed in one bite. It's not only fat and tender, but also full of meat, so it's all excellent ingredients. The common practice is kebabs. After the vivid lobsters are frozen and dizzy, they are immediately put on the grill to bake bright red and the shrimps are compact.
This kind of shrimp with long needle-nosed pliers is nicknamed Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which is also known as Rocky Shrimp. Although it is produced in Ecuador, it has to be admitted that the number of people who can cook Rocky Shrimp best in the world should be Thais.
Rocky shrimp, a kind of freshwater shrimp, is nicknamed "Giant in Shrimp". There are three characteristics in life. The first is that the design looks very big. Basically, adult shrimps can grow to the length of adult arms. The second is that a part of the front leg is very long, and the top shows cyan. The third is that the shrimp brain is thicker than the shrimp body, and the shrimp paste is thick in the shrimp brain.
why is it that such a big Rocky Shrimp is popular in Thailand and even in all Southeast Asia? The bigger reason is that the rivers in Southeast Asia are really suitable for Rocky Shrimp. Take the Mekong River as an example, it is rich in resources, with a wide variety and comprehensive water nutrition. Rocky Shrimp has no nemesis here, and of course it grows and develops freely, which even led to everywhere.
In order to get rid of the predicament, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries have successively made Rocky Shrimp one of their daily foods. You can't afford to buy meat or food, but you can definitely afford to buy Rocky Shrimp. After all, the price of Rocky Shrimp is very low in the local area. Some restaurants that mainly play seafood buffets are basically outdoor barbecued Rocky Shrimp.
Since there are so many Rocky shrimps and the price is low, why don't we often see Rocky shrimps in China? In fact, Rocky Shrimp once became people's new love for a while, but this trend of eating Rocky Shrimp was soon suppressed.
shrimp Roxburgh is actually an exotic species. As an omnivorous microorganism, it is very easy to destroy the ecological environment protection in China's waters. If it is left unattended, it will soon occupy the water-talking area in China's border areas.
Therefore, the country has strict requirements on the import of Rocky Shrimp, and everyone can buy it if they can, but these imported Rocky Shrimp must have good quality and quantity, specifications and models, and reliable transportation channels. It is more reassuring to send this kind of Rocky Shrimp to everyone's table.
In China, there are also areas for raising Rocky Shrimp, such as Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province. It is said that one out of every three Rocky shrimps in China comes from Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province. Because that area is located in the Yangtze River Delta and Lixia River area, there is a long and busy Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passing through, so the sea area and transportation can meet the needs of Luo shrimp culture.
But the industry of Rocky Shrimp is really not as big as other shrimp industries. China people's attitude towards Rocky Shrimp is not as good as that of sea lobster and grass shrimp. Why are they so fat and tender, suffering from Rocky Shrimp, which the people in Southeast Asia like, and being "benched" in China?
One of the main reasons is that there are so many kinds of shrimps in China. Cultured shrimp itself is a very large industrial chain. No matter in the north or the south, a basic requirement of grass shrimp is "fresh", which can satisfy many fresh shrimps. Grass shrimp, lobster, prawn, dog shrimp, spotted shrimp and Ningbo Zhoushan red shrimp are all delicious when cooked at will.
The Rocky Shrimp is just big and thick, and the shrimp itself has no fresh flavor. The seasoning depends on the middle and late stage. Therefore, the common foods of Rocky Shrimp are all grilled skewers, curry sauce, Dongyin Gong soup and other methods with heavy taste. If it is not so heavily seasoned, the Rocky Shrimp has no taste and is not delicious.
Therefore, the gourmets in China are very indifferent to Rocky Shrimp, which is not as delicious as sea lobster, nor as fresh as shrimp in Jiangnan. Choosing Rocky Shrimp is just a whim. If you really want to choose your favorite shrimp, more people will choose the sea lobster with delicious flavor.
