The family's favorite dry pot spicy shrimp is simple and delicious, and adults and children are full of praise
The dry pot spicy shrimp is one of my favorite home-cooked dishes. Its unique aroma and delicious taste always whet my appetite and keep me coming back for more. Today, let me tell you about an encounter with food.
One evening last summer, I met up with a few friends to explore the city's food streets. On the windowsill of a time-honored restaurant on the side of the street, I saw a tempting plate of spicy shrimp in a dry pot. The aroma of the dish hit my face and I immediately had an irresistible urge. We couldn't resist deciding to go inside and find out.
The waiter at the restaurant told us that the spicy shrimp in the dry pot here is their best classic, which has attracted praise from countless diners. He also warmly invited us to the kitchen to observe the cooking process. We excitedly followed him into the lively kitchen, and were immediately surrounded by the heat and the aroma of various ingredients.
The chefs expertly handle the ingredients, and the flames in the pot jump and crackle. They first heat the chicken fat in the pot, then add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, and add some specially prepared chili sauce and Sichuan peppercorns to make the spicy flavor blend perfectly. Then they add fresh prawns to the pot and stir-fry them quickly until the shells are red and shiny. Finally, they add some vegetables and spices, stir well, and wait for the shrimp to be cooked through.
This kind of cooking process may seem simple, but it actually requires a certain amount of heat and skill. The chef told me that the key to the spicy shrimp in the dry pot lies in the mastery of the heat and the combination of seasonings. If the heat is too large, the shrimp will become old and hard, and if the heat is too small, the shrimp will lack taste. The combination of seasonings is also a science, and the amount needs to be adjusted according to personal taste and the tenderness of the ingredients. It took years of research and practice for them to make this dish so good.
Even though this dry pot spicy shrimp is already very tasty, I still feel that there are some areas that can be optimized. For example, when choosing shrimp, you can choose larger shrimp with higher freshness for better taste, in addition, adding less cocoa powder can add depth to the dish, and mashing green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-frying can make the seasoning more even.
