What are the skills for handling shrimp?
Shelling skills:
Start shelling shrimp from the head. Be gentle and slowly peel off the shell so that the shrimp meat is intact. Don't lose the tail. Keep it for aesthetics and it will be convenient for later cooking. If you find it difficult to peel, use kitchen scissors to cut along the back of the shrimp. Then the shell will be much easier to handle.
Removing the shrimp intestine:
Find a toothpick or the tip of a small knife, make a small cut on the back of the shrimp, and then carefully pick out the blackish shrimp intestine. Remove it completely from head to tail. Sometimes there is also a shrimp intestine hidden on the belly of the shrimp. Don't forget to clean it up together.
Handling the shrimp tendon:
Make a few cuts at intervals of about 1 centimeter on the back of the shrimp, and then gently tap with the back of a knife to break the shrimp tendon. By doing this, when the shrimp is stir-fried in the pan, it will not curl up into a ball and can better absorb the seasoning.
Cleaning skills:
Soak the shrimp in light salt water for a few minutes first. This can remove a lot of fishy smell. After soaking, rinse it clean with clean water. Be sure to drain the water completely before pickling. Otherwise, the pickling ingredients will not be evenly coated.
Maintaining freshness:
Once the shrimp is processed, it should be cooked immediately. If you still have to wait for a while, put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. Never leave it at room temperature for too long. Otherwise, the shrimp meat will not be fresh and the taste will not be good when cooked.
What should I do if the white sesame seeds cannot stick firmly after coating with egg liquid?
First, coat the shrimp with a thin layer of starch. Then dip it in beaten egg liquid. Finally, evenly sprinkle white sesame seeds on the surface of the shrimp and gently press with the palm of your hand. In this way, the sesame seeds can stick firmly.
When encountering the problem of sesame seeds falling off, this is often because there is too much moisture on the surface of the shrimp or the egg liquid is too thin. The solution is to completely drain the moisture from the shrimp. At the same time, add an appropriate amount of starch to the egg liquid to increase its viscosity.
In addition, it is recommended to stir-fry the white sesame seeds in advance. This not only increases the fragrance, but also makes the warm sesame seeds stick more easily.
It is very important to let the coated shrimp stand for 1 to 2 minutes before putting it into the pan. This can make the coating more firm. When frying, keep the oil temperature at 60% heat. Avoid frequent turning. In this way, the sesame seeds can stick tightly and ensure that the fried shrimp is golden and crispy.
