Boiled shrimp is the simplest and most delicious way to cook fresh shrimp. The cooking technique of boiled shrimp comes from Cantonese cuisine. It is to boil the soup or water and boil the ingredients until they are just cooked. Add any colored condiments, so it is called boiled.
The characteristics of blanched dishes are: simple and elegant color, crisp and refreshing, and diverse tastes. It will not spoil the original taste of raw materials, which are fresh, sweet and tender.
Boiled shrimp is a common dish in the hotel. The main ingredient is usually Jiwei shrimp. After comparison, I feel that the live small prawns will be similar to the Jiwei shrimp in terms of crispy texture and relatively less sweetness. We are not on the beach, live seafood is not often available, and live sea prawns are usually sold between July and October. Therefore, every year when small prawns are on the market, they will be bought and eat more frequently. After October, they will be gone. Most of the small prawns bought will be cooked using a boiled method. Not only is it easy to make, but the prawns are also delicious. The freshness is crispy and sweet, just dipped in ginger vinegar sauce is super delicious, you will never tire of eating it.
