Stewed Pumpkin with Shrimp Skin

Stewed Pumpkin with Shrimp Skin

Overview

Because of the epidemic in the past few years, I have developed the habit of storing vegetables. The pumpkins at home are very large and cannot be eaten at one time. They will spoil if left alone. So I cut the pumpkin into pieces, steamed it for about eight minutes, let it cool, packed it in plastic bags, and put it in the refrigerator for storage. This not only maintains the original flavor of the vegetables, but it is also very convenient to make, as it can be eaten directly after thawing. I learned this stewed pumpkin with shrimp skin from a friend. I like to eat pumpkin. She said that adding a little shrimp skin will make it more delicious when stewing. I tried it, and it really tasted different. Moreover, after adding dried shrimps, the dish itself had a umami flavor. There was no need to add other condiments except salt and soy sauce. When simple ingredients are paired together, they will create different flavors.
