    Characteristics of this dish: bright and bright color, beautiful and generous shape, just like the shape of a pipa, delicious and crispy taste, and very rich shrimp flavor. It is a good choice for guests to entertain. Warm tips: 1. Choose fresh shrimps, and the meat is best if it is elastic and shiny. When peeling, the shape of the tail must not be damaged and left intact. 2. When using a knife to cut open the abdomen of a shrimp, cut the knife from the middle of the abdomen in a consistent thickness, then remove the shrimp intestines, and use the knife to arrange the flower knives. When using the flower knives, cut them not completely, mainly to prevent the shrimp from curling during frying. 3. To decorate the shrimp body, you must choose vegetables with less water and no strange taste. For green ones, use cucumber green skin slices and dark radish green skin slices and thin shredded. Red ones can use shredded carrot, shredded Jinhua ham, etc. 4. It is best to use granular bread crumbs, and the bread crumbs are too broken and too thin to feel crispy. It is best to make your own bread crumbs and cut them into bread crumbs with a knife. 5. During the frying process, the oil temperature must not be too high or too low. The oil temperature is preferably 5- 60% hot. If the oil temperature is too high, the outside will be burnt and the inside will not be ripe. If the oil temperature is too low, it will make the bread bran oily, which tastes too greasy and has a bad taste.
