Golden and Fragrant Stir-Fried Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Shrimp - Two Simple Shrimp Recipes
Wind Pond Shrimp is a classic dish often ordered in restaurants. The golden and fragrant garlic complements the tender and crispy shrimp, which is irresistible with its appearance and taste. Even the shrimp shells are enjoyed to the fullest!
To make Wind Pond Shrimp, you will need: 300g large shrimp, oil, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cooking wine, 6 cloves garlic, 2 green chili peppers, and 2 red chili peppers.
Step 1: First, wash the large shrimp thoroughly, then clip off the antennae and remove the black line behind the head. Add salt, cooking wine, and pepper, and marinate for at least 15 minutes (marinating large shrimp sufficiently, so you won't need to add too much salt later).
Step 2: It's best to use kitchen paper to absorb the marinated juice from the shrimp, so that it doesn't splatter oil when put into the pot. Prepare a wok, wash the wok clean and then heat it up. Add oil to the wok, and stir-fry the shrimp until they turn color, then take them out to set aside.
Step 3: Then, reheat some oil, and fry the breadcrumbs until the oil is filtered clean. (Frying the breadcrumbs separately makes them even more fragrant.)
Step 4: Pour a little oil into the pot, and add the minced garlic and stir-fry until it turns golden yellow (you can also add some chopped onions for extra fragrance).
Step 5: Add the chopped green and red chili peppers, stir-fry with the fried breadcrumbs and shrimp until cooked through.
This delicious Wind Pond Shrimp is ready! It’s nutritious, spicy and crispy, and you can eat it with the shells and meat, which is very flavorful and nutritious, and is very popular among young people.
Try to marinate the shrimp while they absorb the flavor, and continue stir-frying the shrimp in the fried breadcrumbs, without adding any seasonings.
Remember to stir-fry shrimp over low heat, and don't fry them until they burn, otherwise the taste will be lost. Just fry the breadcrumbs for a short time, and this dish will be ready. If you like it, try it!
After eating Wind Pond Shrimp, it feels not so satisfying, so let’s make Sweet and Sour Shrimp. The sweet and sour flavor is very appetizing and great for pairing with rice. You won't be able to stop eating it when you don't have a meal.
To make sweet and sour shrimp, you will need: 500g shrimp, scallions, 10g cooking wine, 20g soy sauce, 30g vinegar, 40g granulated sugar, 50g water, and flour.
Step 1: Wash and clip the antennae of fresh large shrimp, and sprinkle with a little flour, shake the bowl to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated with baking powder.
Step 2: Before frying, gently pat off the excess baking powder, prepare a wok, wash the wok clean and then heat it up. Pour a little edible oil into the wok, and wait until the oil is 80% hot, and then put the shrimp down to fry until both sides are golden brown, and then take them out to drain off excess oil.
Step 3: Then, prepare and pour in a bowl: sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and cooking wine, and stir until it forms a sweet and sour sauce (the sweet and sour sauce is very important!).
Step 4: Heat the wok, add oil, and stir-fry minced scallions and garlic until fragrant, then pour in the sweet and sour sauce and water together and boil.
Step 5: When the sauce is slightly reduced in the wok, add a spoonful of baking powder to thicken the sauce, and then arrange the shrimp in a dish, sprinkle with chopped scallions, and drizzle with sweet and sour sauce.
