Luohan prawns
"Beijing-style Three Prawns" is a famous seafood dish in Beijing. These three types of shrimp are "braised prawns in oil, pipa prawns and Luohan prawns". The three methods are one stewed, one fried, and two cooked. Among them, the most famous is the "Arhat Prawns" made by double combat. It comes from the court and is a famous dish in the Manchu and Han banquet, but the authentic court practice has long been lost. At present, the best dish you can eat in Beijing is the Luohan Prawns made by Tan's Cuisine at Beijing Hotel.
"Luohan Prawns" is actually another name for eating two prawns. When making, chop the prawns from the middle. The upper part of the shrimp is fired and the tail is fried. The two methods have two flavors. After being cooked, they are put together on a plate. The color looks gorgeous and beautiful, one is strong and the other is crispy, and it tastes unique! The reason why I know is that I had it once a few years ago when a friend invited me. It tasted really good!
"Luohan Prawns" may seem exquisite, high-end and expensive, but in fact it is not complicated to make. The main ingredient is prawns. Cut the prawns in half, use seasoning on the head, simmer shredded green onion, shredded ginger, garlic slices, rice wine, salt, white sugar, etc., leave the tail behind, peel the meat part and break it with a knife, smear one side of the meat with shrimp minced, dip the other side with egg liquid and bread crumbs, and then fry it until done. Finally, put the two different methods of prawns on one plate, one red and one yellow look beautiful, and taste very beautiful!
You can use this as a big dish at home, which can definitely set off the atmosphere of a family banquet! As Christmas approaches, last year we made roast turkey. This year, Da Chao Shao specially dedicated this dish to friends, so that everyone can add a beautiful style to their own table and feast their families. Hehe! The specific practices are as follows;

  • Luohan prawns Make Tips

    Characteristics of this dish: Colorful color, eating two shrimps, salty and slightly sweet on the head, crispy and delicious on the tail, shaped like an arhat in brocade clothes, and the god of food is alive, ha ha! Warm tips: 1. If you want to make it more colorful when making, you can apply shredded shrimp on the tail of the shrimp, and decorate it with a few grains of black sesame seeds or shredded cucumber skin and shredded Jinhua ham. That will be more beautiful. You can make it into a phoenix tail shape or a pipa shape that is very beautiful. The prepared dishes will be more high-quality. They can definitely be called a big dish and make the family banquet full of brilliance. A Manchu and Han banquet at your home is nothing more than that, haha! 2. The size of the shrimp head and tail section depends on the size of the shrimp. In principle, meat must be brought, and the minimum part of the meat should not be less than one inch. Prawns that are too big can also be cut into three sections, fired on the head of the shrimp, spread chicken mashed in the middle section and steam on the tail, and spread chicken mashed in the middle section. The reason why the chicken mashed in the middle section is because the color will be white and beautiful after steaming, and the red, white and yellow colors will be more dazzling and eye-catching, and one dish will shock four people, haha! 3. The practice of shrimp heads is actually the practice of braising prawns in oil. When braising, the braising time should be determined based on the size of the shrimp. It should be braised thoroughly but not too old. During the frying process of the shrimp tails, the oil temperature can be 50% hot. After frying, increase the oil temperature and fry again to make the bread crumbs at the bottom more crispy and delicious.
