When boiling shrimp, many people think that all you need to do is to bring the water to a boil, add the shrimp and cook for a while, and it’s done. But that’s exactly why the shrimp doesn’t turn red beautifully or smell as good or taste as sweet as it does when bought from the store. In fact, the shrimp can even turn bad, fishy, and unappetizing. Cooking this way is very wasteful. Therefore, the chef recommends that to make delicious and high-quality boiled shrimp, you still need some simple but effective tricks.
So what are those tricks? Let’s refer to the detailed instructions below:
Ingredients:
Half a lime, 1 segment of the white part of a scallion, 1 sprig of scallion, 1 ginger root, 20 ml of white wine, suitable amount of oil.
Instructions:
First of all, to have delicious boiled shrimp and retain the original flavor of the shrimp as well as the nutrients, you should choose the freshest shrimp. Dead shrimp or shrimp that has been frozen will lose a lot of flavor, even leaving an unpleasant fishy smell.
After buying fresh and good-quality shrimp, remove the black threads of the shrimp, rinse with water to clean thoroughly. Drain. Cut the white part of the scallion into segments, cut the scallion sprig into segments, julienne the ginger root. Cut the lime into 3 slices and set aside the remaining part for later use.
Heat the pan, add a little cooking oil, heat the oil to about 30%, add the white part of the scallion and ginger to stir-fry until fragrant, then add white wine to stir-fry until the wine evaporates.
Pour enough cold water into the pan, bring it to a boil, then add the lime slices. Squeeze the remaining lime juice and pour it into the pot. At this point, add the prepped shrimp and boil until cooked. When the shrimp turns red and floats to the top, boil for another minute, then turn off the heat.
Immediately transfer the shrimp to a plate to prepare for tasting while it’s still hot. The shrimp boiling sauce can be made simply by mixing lime powder, lime juice, chili, and a little miscellaneous seasoning. It will taste even better if you have seafood dipping sauce. Or you can simply dip the boiled shrimp in chili sauce, which is already very appealing.
So, when boiling shrimp, remember:
To completely eliminate the fishy smell of the shrimp, just add a few slices of lime and a little lime juice when boiling the shrimp. The lime will get rid of the fishy smell of the shrimp. The shrimp will also absorb the aroma of the lime, making it much more delicious when eaten.
The white wine must be boiled until it has a special aroma and the alcohol vapor is mostly gone before adding the shrimp to boil. White wine not only enhances the flavor of the shrimp but also helps remove fishy smell, making the shrimp fresh, delicious, and beautifully red.
Do not boil the shrimp for too long, otherwise, the shrimp meat will become tough or fishy and lose its flavor.
In addition, choosing fresh shrimp for boiling is also one of the secrets to making delicious boiled shrimp.
