How to pick shrimp thread? The correct way to pick shrimp lines

When we cook prawns, there is a relatively important task, which is to pick out the shrimp thread inside. In fact, there will be some dirt in the shrimp's digestive tract. If the shrimp thread is not picked out, it will affect the taste and it will taste a bit bitter. There are certain methods and techniques when picking out the shrimp thread. If you don't pick it out well, the shrimp meat will be covered with shrimp thread.

Method 1

Use a toothpick to insert into the second section of the shrimp's back, cut it open and pick out the shrimp thread directly.

Method 2

Cut off the head and tail, and squeeze out the shrimp thread and dirt with your hands.

Method 3

When removing the shrimp head, do not twist it off at once. Slowly turn the shrimp head and the shrimp intestine will be pulled out. [1]

Remove the shrimp head and shell, leaving the shrimp tail, cut both sides along the back of the shrimp, use your hands to open the shrimp back, and you can see the shrimp intestines. Take them out with your hands.

Shrimp recipe

Ingredients : 1 pound of shrimp, a handful of shredded ginger (more is better), 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, and the amount of olive oil for cooking

practice

1. Remove the shrimp thread. Cut a slit along the shrimp's back and remove the shrimp thread. Wash the deveined shrimps and drain.

2. Cut the ginger into shreds and set aside.

3. Heat the pan with cold oil. When the oil is 80% hot, add the shredded ginger and stir-fry. After the aroma comes out, pour in the prawns and stir-fry. After the prawns turn red, add salt and sugar and continue to stir-fry. Cover the pan and simmer for a while, then pour in an appropriate amount of tomato sauce and stir-fry evenly before serving.

Tips

1. The moisture of the shrimps must be drained, because the shrimps will release some water after adding salt when stir-frying. If you don’t drain it beforehand, the fried dish will be very watery.

2. You can add a little more shredded ginger to remove the fishy smell of the shrimp and balance the coldness of the shrimp.
