boiled shrimp
By LeannBins
Once a good friend came to my house for dinner, and I made boiled shrimp because my friend's boyfriend was a chef. Hehe... She gave me advice that when boiling shrimps, white sugar should be used instead of salt, so that the shrimp meat will be fresher and sweeter! The meat is also more tender!&# 160; Later, I tried using white sugar without salt, 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 used Taiwanese rice wine instead. The finished product is beautiful, and the effect and taste are first-class! My secret is: white sugar + rice wine === fresh, sweet and tender

Steps for boiled shrimp
1
After buying the Jiwei shrimp, wash it with clean water several times, remove the beard, and drain the water for later use.
2
Add a spoonful of white sugar.
3
Add 2 tablespoons of Taiwanese rice wine.
4
Put appropriate amount of water in the pan, and add shredded ginger and onion knots in turn. (I ran out of ginger and didn't put it in. If I had, I'd better put in 2 slices!)
5
Bring to a boil over high heat for 2 minutes, then add the shrimp.
6
Cover the pan until the shrimps stop jumping, and cook.
7
Open the lid and cook for 3 minutes on high heat, and turn off the heat.
8
Dip: I put mashed garlic + soy sauce + balsamic vinegar + Li Kum Kee's steamed fish soy sauce + sesame oil.

Shrimp meat is fresh and sweet, not the kind of sweet taste oh ~!boiled shrimp Make Tips
1. You can make wine without Taiwanese rice wine, and rice wine should also work. 2. Boiled shrimp must be fresh shrimp to taste delicious! When scalding it quickly, cover the lid, otherwise the shrimp will jump when encountering hot water. Be careful of scalding it! The shrimp will be cooked when the tail is bent. Don't cook it too long, the shrimp meat will get old! 3. Don't put salt in sugar. Personally, I think it's really good! Worth a try! 4. If you have enough time, you can cut off the shrimps.
