The flavorful salt-and-pepper prawns are easy to learn, delicious and fragrant, and you will never forget to eat them once
Prawns with salt and pepper, which is a mouth-watering delicacy. Whenever I think of this dish, I can't help but think of the time-honored restaurant that accompanied me to spend delicious times when I was a child, "Xiangmanlou".
Xiangmanlou is a time-honored restaurant near my home, which has a history of several decades. My father and I used to sit leisurely in front of its tea-scented door on weekends, waiting for the mouth-watering feast. And the salt-and-pepper prawns are my favorite in Xiangmanlou.
The unique flavor of salt-and-pepper prawns has attracted many diners, and I interviewed a few gourmets who often visit Xiangmanlou for several days. One of the old gentlemen told me that the salt-and-pepper prawns are known for their simplicity and naturalness, and it is this quaint cooking technique that gives this dish its unique flavor.
In addition to Xiangmanlou, a newly emerging online celebrity store has also started selling its own salt-and-pepper prawns. When I went to visit the store, I saw a long queue outside the door. When you enter the store, you will be greeted by the aroma and the chefs are in full swing frying shrimp balls. Curious, I asked the manager about the secrets of cooking, and learned that they added some unique seasonings to the traditional method and mastered the essence of the heat during the frying process, making the salt-and-pepper prawns more tender and crispy.
When I got home, I started preparing to make my own salt-and-pepper prawns. First, I chose some fresh prawns and peeled them off the shell, but kept the tails intact. I then use flour, salt, white pepper and starch to make a batter and evenly coat the shrimp with this batter. Next, I pour the hot oil into the pan, and when the oil temperature rises, I put the shrimp with the batter into the pan one by one and fry them. When the shrimp are golden brown, I scoop up the shrimp balls and strain out the excess oil.
During the cooking process, I found a place that could be optimized. Even though I tried to control the proportions of the batter as much as possible, sometimes the batter was too thick or too thin, so it was a little uneven during the frying process. Therefore, next time, I will control the proportion of batter more carefully to ensure that the batter can completely wrap each shrimp.
Finally, the salt-and-pepper prawns are finally done. On a paper towel-lined plate, I gently stacked the shrimp balls neatly, sprinkled with chopped green onions and golden paprika, and the whole dish was as bright as a jewel in the hands of the little prince. At this time, I suddenly remembered the famous saying: "Food is the magic that makes people forget reality and revel in it." "And this salt-and-pepper prawn is like a magic, which makes me feel the satisfaction and warmth that I have not felt for a long time in my busy life.
