During this time, everyone was talking about pork prices, and this morning when I went to the market, the stalls selling seafood and poultry were obviously more lively than selling pork. Passing by the seafood stalls and seeing that there are sea shrimp for sale, 35 yuan a pound, I picked a dozen and prepared them for shrimp cakes to eat. My family loves to eat shrimp, and I often change my tricks to make, this shrimp cake is the most popular, and children especially love to eat it.
Those shrimp cakes that I used to buy outside were all starchy, and the shrimp meat content was very small, not delicious and nutritious, and it was different to make it myself. Do not put flour and eggs, choose fresh shrimp, with carrots and white sesame seeds, seasoning only salt and pepper, one bite, original, fresh shrimp, carrots and sesame seeds, not only more delicious taste, but also calcium and eye protection Oh.
The method of this shrimp cake is very simple, to make a fresh and tender shrimp cake, remember 2 key points, you will be more than half successful
The first is the selection of materials. Be sure to fresh shrimp, so that the meat is tender;
The second is to handle shrimp. Instead of chopping with a knife, the shrimp meat is slapped and crushed with the back of the knife. Because the muscle tissue of fresh shrimp is very soft, if it is chopped too delicately, it is easy to lose the umami substances and water and lose the characteristics of freshness and freshness.
Let me introduce you to the method of this carrot shrimp cake. It's very simple.
Ingredients: 400 g shrimp, carrot to taste, sesame seeds to taste, pepper 1/3 teaspoon, salt 1/2 teaspoon, ginger to taste
Cut off the shrimp head (I used the shrimp head to cook tomato soup, very delicious), peel off the shrimp shell and use a toothpick to pick out the shrimp line, you must not be lazy, this relatively large shrimp must pick the shrimp line, or there will be no fishy taste affecting the taste, the whole dish will be ruined.
All the shrimp are taken out and rinsed with water, and then the water is sucked dry with kitchen paper, which is also very important, if there is too much water, the shrimp cake made is not pleasant. Here's the first trick!
Put the shrimp on the board, use the back of the knife to flatten the shrimp one by one, and then press and move it when you shoot it, don't have to shoot it very badly, a shrimp shoot 2 times on the line, if there is still a little bit of shrimp meat that is not flattened, it doesn't matter, so that it tastes better. Here's the second trick!
After all the shrimp are patted out, put them in a bowl, add pepper, pour a few drops of oil, and hold them well with your hands.
Rub the carrots into thin wires, a medium carrot I used half a stick, and rub in a little ginger. To make shrimp cakes, carrots can also be changed to other ingredients according to your preference, but it is recommended to use some vegetables with a sweet taste and low water content, such as corn, lotus root, horseshoe, etc.
Mix the carrots, shrimp and white sesame seeds together, add salt and grasp well.
Rub a little oil on your hands, brush the pan with a layer of oil, pick up a little filling and organize it into a small cake, put it in the pot, put it all in the pot and then turn on the fire. Fry the shrimp cake over low heat until golden brown, then turn over and continue frying, shaking it while frying so that it heats evenly.
Until the shrimp cake changes color, pick up the lid, pour 2 tablespoons of water into the pot and immediately cover the lid, use the water vapor to bake the inside of the shrimp cake. Until all the water has evaporated, turn off the heat and leave the pan.
If this shrimp cake is not grabbed by the child's father with him, he can kill a plate himself, and the child shouts that he will eat it tomorrow. Crunchy white sesame seeds and tender shrimp meat stimulate the taste buds and sensory nerves, leaving you with an unforgettable taste in your heart.
【Small boiling intention】:
1, when buying shrimp, you must buy fresh shrimp, do not buy those frozen shrimp.
2, the time of frying shrimp cake is adjusted according to the thickness of the shrimp cake made by yourself, and the shrimp is cooked quickly.
3. It is not recommended to release raw soy sauce, oyster sauce and other spices, which will rob the umami taste of fresh shrimp.
When I first made this shrimp cake, the child's father also said that he saw shrimp and carrots and other vitamin-rich foods eaten together to produce arsenic, because the arsenic and vitamins contained in shrimp will react to form a highly toxic poison that is harmful to the human body, which is commonly known as arsenic. In fact, a search on the Internet has a rumor article, and the possibility of poisoning shrimp and carrots eating together is almost zero, which is a rumor. Therefore, when you see this kind of information, you must ask for more verification, especially the mother, grandmother, don't blindly believe it.
