【The difference between boiled shrimp in cold water and boiled shrimp】
Cold boiling: The water temperature is relatively low, and the prawns need to be boiled for a long time, so the shrimp meat is easy to get old and has a bad taste.
Boiling water: Boiling the pot under water will lock in the fishy smell of the prawns, resulting in the fishy smell of the prawns and they are not delicious.
How do you cook the prawns? Listen to what the old chef has to say, make sure that the shrimp meat is fresh and tender, and not fishy at all.
【Boiled shrimp】
Prepare prawns, ginger, green onions, Sichuan peppercorns, cooking wine, light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil.
1. To boil prawns, you must use fresh prawns, preferably lively, so that the taste is tender, the fishy smell is relatively small, and the taste of dead shrimp or frozen shrimp will be much worse. Cut off the shrimp whiskers and shrimp guns of the prawns, do not pick the shrimp lines, rinse them with clean water, and drain the water.
2. Cut the ginger into slices, slice the green onions, add water to the pot, put in the green onions and ginger slices, heat over high heat, and wait until the bottom of the pot begins to bubble, you can put in the prawns. At this time, the water temperature is about 60°C, which can not only keep the shrimp meat fresh and tender, but also remove the fishy smell of the prawns.
3. Pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine, do not cover the lid, cook on high heat for 2~3 minutes, wait until the color of the prawns turns red and the shrimp body is bent to turn off the heat. Remove the prawns and soak them in ice water for 5 minutes, so that the shrimp will be firm and have a better taste.
4. Wash the chives and ginger, chop them into minced pieces, pour hot oil into a bowl, fry them to the fragrance, add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil, stir evenly, and the dipping sauce is ready. Remove the prawns and put them on a plate, dip them in the sauce and eat.
【Skill Summary】

1. The prawns must be fresh, do not use dead or frozen shrimp. Do not remove the shrimp line from the prawns, the shrimp meat will enter the water, and the taste will be very poor.
2. The prawns should be boiled in warm water, which can make the fishy smell of the prawns volatilize and keep the shrimp meat fresh and tender.
3. Soak the boiled prawns in ice water so that the shrimp meat is firmer and has a better taste.
