White-seared shrimp is one of the common practices of shrimp, in essence, white-seared is "boiled", and strive to highlight the original taste of the ingredients, mostly used in more fragrant ingredients, through simple cooking methods, to achieve the requirements of beauty, smoothness, tenderness and coolness. Firepower is divided into "Wenzhuo" and "Wuzhuo" according to the size of the fire, and the amount of water is also different, such as vegetables, which need more water, so that vegetables can be cooked quickly and thoroughly, so as to avoid the loss of color and nutrients; seafood should have less water to avoid the loss of umami into the water.
How to cook shrimp for fresh shrimp? I have seen fishermen along the coast of Fujian eating sea-caught prawns on fishing boats, also known as "white-burned prawns", but the cooking process does not add a drop of water at all, directly heat the iron pot, fresh prawns poured into the pot, covered with the lid of the pot over a medium-low heat "simmered". The internal moisture content of fresh shrimp is not low, so it will not burn off, after two or three minutes, the prawns will be turned over, and the shrimp can be eaten after becoming full red, and the taste of shrimp meat is extremely delicious.
This fresh sea-caught prawn is usually difficult to eat, but it can also imitate the "waterless white burning" approach of the boat bosses, with a little modification, it is suitable for all kinds of chilled and frozen prawns sold in the market, and the umami taste will not be lost at all, especially delicious.
<h1>White-seared prawns</h1>
Ingredients: shrimp, green onion, ginger, salt
1, go to the shrimp line, does the shrimp line need to be removed? I recommend that live shrimp do not have to go, ice fresh and other dead shrimp is best to remove, shrimp line is the digestive tract of shrimp, is the shrimp not excreted waste, shrimp after death microorganisms will multiply rapidly, not clean. Pick the third joint on the shrimp's back with a toothpick to easily pick it out.
2: Add some shallots, sliced ginger, 1 spoonful of salt, add some shallow water to the pan, cook for 2 minutes on medium heat to let the flavor of green onion and ginger emanate, leave a little water on the line.
3: Pour the prawns into the pot and turn them a few times to let the green onion and ginger water envelop the prawns.
4: Cover the pot and "simmer" on medium-low heat for about 2 minutes. The pot used here is the "New Side" diamond octagonal pot, the pot lid and the pot handle are really inlaid with "diamonds", the value is extremely high, the pot body is thick, it does not stick at all, and the pot lid has a silicone ring, the seal is particularly good, and it is best to make shrimp.
5, open the pot lid, will find that the water has become more, which is caused by the analysis of the water in the shrimp, turn the shrimp over, continue to "white burn" for 2 minutes, the shrimp as a whole can turn red to get out of the pot.
6, eat shrimp dipping sauce, ginger minced, add some high-quality soy sauce, add some peanut oil can be, simple and delicious shrimp dipping sauce. If there is sand ginger, it is better, and the flavor is better.
