Crispy Shrimp

Overview

For fresh shrimp, the head and tail are closely connected to the body. The body of the shrimp is relatively straight, with a certain degree of elasticity and curvature. After being heated, the shrimp's back will become more curved due to the heat, as if it can't stand the high temperature and arches its back. Taking advantage of this characteristic of shrimp, cut open and peel the shrimp, remove the shrimp lines, blanch or fry them, and make them curl up into shrimp balls. The dishes made with shrimp balls are beautiful and delicious. I have seen many pictures of Japanese fried shrimps. Every shrimp is straight and straight, which is a different style. If you want to prevent the shrimp from bending, just make three cuts on the belly of the shrimp, with the back facing up, and tap lightly with your hands to break up the tendons on the belly of the shrimp. This way, the fried shrimp will be straight! Of course, be careful not to cut off the shrimp when operating. Furthermore, the shrimp body is soft and difficult to handle. Today, Shuangshuang would like to share with you a little trick: insert a toothpick from the tail of the shrimp, penetrate the shrimp body, and artificially intervene to prevent it from bending. Compared with the first method, this method is a bit wasteful of toothpicks. However, it is absolutely simple to operate. After frying, take out the toothpick to prevent it from scratching your teeth.
