When my friend came to my house for dinner, I made boiled shrimp because the boyfriend of my friend was a chef. Hehe.... She gave me some pointers, when boiled shrimp, sugar should be used instead of salt, so that the shrimp meat will be fresher and sweeter! The meat is also tenderer! Later, I tried not to put salt and used sugar, and the effect was really obvious. ! It’s just that the color of the cooking wine is dark, the shrimp heads will be dyed, and the finished product will not look good! Later I replaced it with Taiwanese rice wine, the finished product looks good, the effect and taste are all first-class! My secret is: sugar + rice wine = = Fresh, sweet and tender"

Ingredients

Boiled Shrimp-the Secret of How to Make Shrimp Fresh and Sweet

1. Buy the Jiwei shrimp and rinse it with clean water several times, remove the whiskers, and drain the water for later use.

2. Put in a spoonful of sugar.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of Taiwanese rice wine.

4. Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, add shredded ginger and green onions in turn. (I ran out of ginger and did not put it. If there is one, it is better to put 2 slices!)

5. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then pour the shrimp.

6. Cover the pot until the shrimp stops rambling, then cover and cook.

7. Open the lid and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes. All the shrimp tails are bent, then the heat can be turned off.

8. Dip: I put garlic + soy sauce + balsamic vinegar + Lee Kum Kee's steamed fish soy sauce + sesame oil.

9. The shrimp meat is fresh and sweet, not the kind of very sweet taste~!

Tips:
1. Rice wine that can be made without Taiwanese rice wine should be fine too.

2. Boiled shrimp must be fresh shrimp to be delicious! When it is hot, the speed should be fast. Cover the pot, otherwise the shrimp will jump when exposed to hot water. Be careful of scalding! The shrimp tails will be cooked when they are bent. Don't cook for a long time, the shrimp meat will get old!

3. Don't add salt when you put sugar, I think it's really good! It's worth a try!

4. If you have plenty of time, you can trim off the shrimp whiskers.
