    Many people say that either cold water or boiling water should be used to cook shrimp, but in fact, it is not true, you should choose to put the shrimp in the pot when the temperature is about 50 degrees. This can not only ensure that the nutrients of the shrimp are not lost, but also ensure that the meat of the shrimp is firm and tender.

    Chinese like to eat shrimp, often ridiculed, if lobster is an invasive species of alien species, then in China can definitely control the number very well, and Chinese also like to eat river shrimp, barbecue, boiled hot pot, a variety of cooking methods waiting for river shrimp to choose.

    Most people will not go to the market to choose live shrimp, many people are lazy to go directly to the supermarket to choose those frozen shrimp, but I don't know whether it is good or bad, generally when choosing shrimp to see whether it is bright red, if it is bright red, it means that the meat quality is not bad, if the overall shrimp is white or even black, it means that the shrimp may be used for sewage culture when cultivating.

    Clean the prawns after buying the shrimp, then cut the shrimp shell with scissors, pick out the shrimp line with a toothpick, the general way to pick the shrimp line is to start picking from the second section of the back, and pull it directly after one end, most of the fresh shrimp, the shrimp filling is not much, it is relatively clean, and the shrimp line is also transparent. Secondly, the frozen shrimp bought must be thawed naturally, do not put it directly into the pot to cook in order to save time, so that although the shrimp is thawed, the meat of the shrimp will become loose, and it will affect the taste very much.

    Then you should choose a pot under warm water, after the water boils to about 50 degrees, pour the shrimp into the pot, and add a few slices of ginger to the pot, pour some cooking wine, and even put a few peppercorns, the purpose is to remove the fishy smell of the shrimpAt the same time, it can also enhance the umami of the shrimp, and it can be taken out after boiling for three minutes after boiling, the shrimp is very easy to cook, as long as you see the shrimp body turn red, then it means that it is okay. If it is cooked for a long time, it will affect the meat quality of the shrimp to become hard, which means that it will not taste good if it is cooked.

    The reason why we choose the pot under warm water is to prevent the meat of the shrimp from becoming loose, and at the same time, not to lose the nutrients of the shrimp. Secondly, shrimp meat is very easy to be soft and rotten, the cooking time can not be too long, boiled in water can be baked twice, once boiled for a long time, then the nutritional value of shrimp will be lost, and white boiled shrimp should also pay attention to the size of the shrimp to determine the heating time, for example, after the water is boiled, the general large shrimp need to be boiled for five minutes, and the small shrimp family can be boiled for three minutes.

    Be sure to use hot water to cook shrimp, because the shrimp are boiled in the pot, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also keep the shrimp meat fresh and tender. Shrimp will mature quickly when heated, and if they are placed in cold water, the color will slowly change as the temperature rises, and the vitamins in the shrimp meat will also be destroyed. After the water is boiled, the shrimp are added, and the high temperature can also kill the bacteria in the shrimp.

    Tips for selecting fresh prawns:

    1. Body shape bending:At present, many friends do not like the curved shrimp to eat, mainly because such shrimp generally look relatively small, and it is not easy to shell, but we don't know, fresh shrimp is to have a complete head and tail, the head and tail are closely connected with the body, the shrimp body is relatively straight, there is a certain elasticity and curvature, if you choose the shrimp head and body, shell and meat are connected loosely, the head and tail are easy to fall off or separate, can not maintain its original curvature, then it is very likely to be stale shrimp, More likely, it's already a dead shrimp.

    2. Dry body surfaceThe appearance of the live shrimp is clean, and it feels dry when touched by hand. However, when the shrimp body is about to deteriorate, the granular cells that secrete mucus under the carapace disintegrate, and a large amount of mucus seeps into the body surface, making it slippery to the touch.

    If the shell sticks to the hand, it means that the shrimp have gone bad.

    3. Bright color:Depending on the species of shrimp, there is a slight difference in color. Fresh prawns, Roche shrimp and grass shrimp are blue, sea-caught prawns are pink, and bamboo shrimp and Jiwei shrimp have black and white patterns with a slight pink.

    If the shrimp has black hair, it is not a fresh shrimp, and the whole shrimp is relatively black and not bright, which means that it has deteriorated.

    4. The meat shell is closely connectedThe fresh shell is very tightly attached to the flesh, and when you peel the shell by hand, the flesh is sticky to your hands, and it takes a little effort to peel off the shell. The intestinal tissue of fresh shrimp and the shrimp flesh are also sticky tightly, and if there is a loosening phenomenon, it indicates that the shrimp is not fresh.

    5. No peculiar smell:Fresh shrimp have a normal fishy smell, if there is a peculiar smell, it means that the shrimp have gone bad. In addition, it is important to pay attention to safety and hygiene when eating shrimp.

    Shrimp may contain bacteria and parasites that are resistant to low temperatures, and even dipping them in vinegar and mustard cannot completely kill them, so it is recommended to eat them after they are cooked thoroughly. Shrimp that cannot be eaten should be refrigerated and heated before being eaten again.

    Hello, I'm glad to be able to answer your questions. As far as I know, it's better to have hot water. Be sure to wait for the water to boil before getting out of the pot, if the cold water is in the pot, the enzymes in the shrimp meat will break down the nutrients in the meat, and the boiled shrimp will also be very chai, and the taste is extremely poor, so pay attention to it.

    1. When boiling shrimp, you should boil the underwater pot, which can speed up the ripening of shrimp, the general shrimp can be boiled for 3 minutes, if the size is very large, boil for about 5 minutes. Well, that's good. 2. Because the shrimp is easy to cook, if it is a pot under cold water, the shrimp will be cooked slowly and the fishy smell is difficult to remove, so the shrimp made in this way has a very poor taste, so try to use hot water as much as possible.

    3. Take out the boiled shrimp and put it in cold water for 20 seconds, then take it out and control the moisture and put it on the plate, so that the shrimp taste better.

    When boiling shrimp, you need to cook in a pot under warm water because if the water temperature is too low, it will increase the cooking time of the shrimp, which will cause the shrimp meat to cook well. When boiling in hot water, the shrimp meat is easy to shrink quickly, resulting in the shrimp meat not being fresh and tender.

    Therefore, when you cook shrimp, you must boil the water until it is warm before cooking.
