Pippi shrimp, we call it mantis shrimp. People from hometown always joked that it was Shrimp's aunt. Some places in the north are called Xia Panzi. Quite vivid. I quite like this name.
Recently, you can see several stalls selling Pippi shrimp in the morning market. Generally speaking, the price this year is generally too expensive, ranging from 10 yuan per catty to 15 yuan in previous years. The bigger one is 55 yuan 2 kg. The mixed one is 45 yuan 2 catty, and the smaller ones are 15 yuan 1 catty. But seafood should be eaten alive. According to the stall owner, this year’s Pippi shrimp is small, so if you want to eat it now, hurry up and try it. Remember to pick the big one, the female one, the shrimp shell is hard and hard, and there is more meat.
There is a saying in Tianjin that "borrowing money to eat seafood is not too bad." Even if the price is not close to the people, there are still so many people rushing to buy it every day. Buy more than 2 catties. I don't know why there is such a statement. Does it fully reflect the realm of Tianjin people's love of seafood?
Nutritious and delicious Pippi shrimp, it is delicious no matter how to cook it, boiled, add a few slices of ginger, the original flavor. Tianjin people are used to steaming, sprinkling a few peppers and a few slices of ginger. And I prefer garlic, oily stew. It feels particularly fragrant.

Do you know how to peel whole shrimp without using tools? It's actually very simple. It only requires a small action, except that it can't be overcooked. Just use two hands to pinch the two ends of the Pipi shrimp and move its joints back and forth. The purpose of this is to separate the skin and the flesh. Then turn the stomach side. Hold the shrimp shell with two hands and move it down from left to right. Because the skin and meat have been separated in advance, as long as they are not cooked too old, the whole shell can usually be peeled off easily. Pull the tail out again. That's it. Because I was eating too seriously, I forgot to take a picture of the process, I believe it is as smart as you can understand.

Ingredients

Garlic Shrimp

1. Let's teach everyone how to distinguish between male and female. Female prawns are more delicious, because there is a cream in the middle, which is especially delicious when cooked. Look at the picture below. There is a "king" on the left side of the neck. The yellow anointed on the tail is female, and the right one is male. The male looks stronger.

Tips:

The smell of garlic is particularly delicious. I bought 2 catties, one catty steamed, and one catty garlic fragrant. In contrast, I still feel that the garlic fragrant adds more flavor. Of course, if you like the original flavor, it is better to choose steamed or boiled. If it is steamed, add ginger slices and peppercorns when steaming, and it will be cooked after 5 minutes of steaming. Don't overcook the Pippi shrimp. If you go too far, the shrimp shell will not peel off
