2 Ways to Make Delicious and Simple Salt and Ginger Steamed Prawns for the Whole Family

Prepare and steam the shrimp

Clean the shrimp to remove dirt and pull out the intestinal vein. To quickly remove the shrimp vein, use a toothpick to poke through the shrimp’s body at the second joint from the tail, carefully pull the vein out slowly to avoid breaking it.

Place a pot on the stove, add the cleaned shrimp, and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover and steam the shrimp for 5 – 7 minutes.

Make the dipping sauce

Pound the green chili in a mortar until crushed, then add the peeled garlic and pound together. Next, add 20g of palm sugar, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Stir the mixture until the ingredients dissolve.

Final product

Salted steamed shrimp is an extremely simple dish that anyone can make. The shrimp has a salty taste but still retains its freshness and sweetness, dipped in a spicy, sour sauce that stimulates the taste buds. It’s hard to stop eating once you start.

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp with clean water. Then, use scissors to cut off the sharp head of the shrimp and the legs. To remove the waste from the shrimp, use the tip of a spoon to go into the shell of the shrimp head, scoop out the waste from the shrimp head, and remove the intestinal vein.

Prepare the other ingredients

Ginger is purchased, wash it thoroughly and then slice it thinly.

Remove the old leaves from the lemongrass, cut off the ends, and then slice it thinly.

Marinate the shrimp

After preparing the shrimp, marinate it with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and mix well.

Steam the shrimp

Spread a portion of the sliced lemongrass and ginger evenly on a plate and then place the shrimp on top. Next, add the remaining lemongrass and ginger on top. Sprinkle an additional teaspoon of ground pepper for fragrance.

Then, put the shrimp into the steamer for 10 minutes until cooked. Steam over high heat, and when the steamer boils, reduce the heat to low.
