Chaoshan specialties-pickled salted shrimps
Overview
As we grew up by the sea, our favorite food is fish, shrimp, and so on. This salted shrimp recipe is very simple. You only need to clean it and prepare a few ingredients. Of course, it also takes a little time to marinate. In addition to shrimps, you can also pickle shrimps, small crabs, etc. Our family usually marinates for 24 hours, and there are also marinates that can be eaten overnight or for 2 or 3 hours. It is usually paired with white porridge, with various fresh, spicy, and salty flavors. You can try it when you have time

Ingredients
Steps
-
250g of shrimp, garlic, ginger, Hunan pepper (both green and red), salt, light soy sauce, white wine or rice wine. There are no special requirements for the amounts of these ingredients. If you like spicy or salty, add more. If you like it milder, add less. I add them based on experience. After adjusting, try the taste with a spoon
-
Wash the shrimp 3 times with tap water, put it in a basin and soak it with an appropriate amount of rice wine for half an hour. The function of adding wine is to remove the earthy smell and to spit out the sand
-
Prepare ingredients: shred ginger, mince garlic, slice green and red pepper
-
After half an hour, take the shrimp out and drain the water in a basket. This step is very important. If there is water, it will go bad easily
-
After draining the shrimp, take a clean glass bowl or crisper without water, add shredded ginger, garlic, chili, light soy sauce, salt, adjust the taste, seal and put it in the refrigerator. Generally, it can be eaten within 12 hours or more. Our family likes to eat it 24 hours a day. The longer it lasts, the better the flavor will be.
