【Name】
Steamed Shrimp
【Ingredients】
Fresh shrimp, garlic, scallions, ginger, cooking oil, salt, sugar, soy sauce, white wine
【Instructions】
1. After buying the fresh shrimp, soak them in clean water for 30-60 minutes to let them spit out the dirt in their stomachs.
2. Cut off the shrimp whiskers and sharp front pincers, use a toothpick to remove the shrimp line, rinse with running water several times, and drain.
3. Slice the ginger and cut the scallions into sections.
4. Add half a pot of water to the pot, add the ginger slices and scallions, and then pour in a little white wine. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
5. When the water is boiling, add the shrimp and stir with chopsticks to evenly heat the shrimp.
6. Once the water in the pot boils again, cook for about half a minute (adjust the time according to the quantity of shrimp).
7. Use a colander to remove the shrimp and immerse them in cold water to cool them down and maintain the tenderness of the shrimp meat (in summer, you can use ice water for better effect).
8. Use the colander again to drain the water, and then transfer the shrimp to a serving plate.
9. Finely chop the garlic and cut the ginger into thin strips for later use.
10. Pour a little oil into the pot and heat it over low heat.
11. Add the minced garlic and ginger strips and stir-fry.
12. Add salt, sugar, and soy sauce; mix well and add heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Then turn off the heat.
13. Pour the ginger and garlic sauce into a small bowl, and the steamed shrimp is ready to be dipped and eaten.
