Introduction: Every once in a while, Master Hu will go to a famous snack city to learn about the special snacks made by his colleagues. Last week, Master Hu went to the Pearl River in Guangzhou because this city is famous for its delicious snacks. It is called "the city of seafood foodies", and when you come to this city of foodies, of course "shrimp" is indispensable, because sea shrimp has always been my favorite delicacy, and the methods of cooking shrimp are different in different places. So in order to learn various methods of boiling shrimp, my friends and I ate at three stores that specialized in boiled shrimp in the "Seafood Foodie City", and the owner of one store made boiled shrimp that was really delicious. It's fresh and tender, the best boiled shrimp I've ever eaten.

After 2:30 in the morning, the customers had almost left. At this time, the boss enthusiastically started drinking beer with us, and I kept praising the boss’s boiled shrimps for being so tender. There was no fishy smell at all. It was the best boiled shrimp I have ever tasted. In the process of slowly talking to each other, the boss knew how my friend and I cooked shrimps. He immediately said: You cook shrimps in cold water, while he cooks shrimps in hot water. In fact, I don’t particularly advocate these two methods. Next, I I will teach you the correct method and ensure that you can cook Pearl River prawns at home in the future! Not to mention, after listening to Chef Li’s recipe, I found that my recipe was only slightly different from his, but the taste was significantly different. Next, I will share with you Chef Li’s method of boiling shrimps. I hope you will not make mistakes all the time. As long as you follow this method, the shrimps can be cooked really fresh and tender.

Ingredients preparation: About 20 prawns, 5 grams of green pepper, 8 grams of ginger, 200ml of beer, 1g of salt, 20ml of Shanxi mature vinegar, and 5g of coriander.

Step 4: Then mix the salt and mature vinegar together, then sprinkle the coriander on the plate and serve.

Master Hu has something to say:

1. When making boiled shrimps, you need to boil them in warm water and add a little beer to the water, because boiling them in warm water can make The aroma of beer, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns slowly penetrate into the shrimp, making the shrimp delicious and tender. If you use cold water to cook shrimp, it will prolong the cooking time and make the shrimp become old. If you use hot water to cook shrimp, the shrimp meat will shrink quickly and will also cause the shrimp meat to become old. Therefore, it is best to cook shrimp in a pot with warm water. most suitable.

2. When boiling shrimps, if you see that the shrimp tails are bent, you need to take them out immediately, because the shrimp tails completely indicate that the shrimp meat has been completely cooked. If you cook them for 10 seconds longer at this time, the shrimps will become bent. The meat ages.

3. It is best to eat the cooked shrimp within 6 hours, because shrimp contains a lot of protein. If the shrimp is left for too long, a large number of bacteria will breed in the shrimp, and some people with gastrointestinal problems will eat it. People who eat this kind of shrimp can easily cause diarrhea.
