Aromatic and original crayfish

Aromatic and original crayfish
The crayfish we usually eat outside have the flavor of spices. The real shrimp flavor is not reflected at all. Because the outside treatment is not always clean, we usually dare not take the mouth off, wasting a large piece of "shrimp yellow", this dish well reflects the freshness of the raw materials themselves, and the large pieces of shrimp yellow are especially delicious! The soup is golden in color, rich and delicious, and the garlic cloves added are also soft, waxy and sweet. It is very unique and uses the simplest condiments to burn different fragrant and original crayfish.

    It should be like this after cleaning it. Finally, rinse gently with water. Remember to be light to prevent the "shrimp yellow" from being washed away. At this time, you can also pat a little dry starch on the shrimp yellow to prevent the shrimp yellow from falling off. However, I suggest not pat the starch dry. There will be a layer of shrimp oil in the final thick soup, which is especially delicious.

    Cleaning is the most important step. It is not recommended to perform every step for each crayfish individually. Like a factory assembly line, do one process for a large batch of crayfish at a time; going through the steps one by one is more time-saving. If you don't mind garlic cloves, add extra!! The result is surprisingly good! The sauce must be eaten mixed with rice.
