How to Make Pumpkin Shrimp Soup

• 1

  Prepare the shrimp

  After buying the shrimp, wash it with diluted salt water to eliminate the fishy smell. Then, peel off the head and all the shells to get the shrimp meat, keeping the heads to make the broth.

  Next, use a knife to make a slit along the back of the shrimp or use a toothpick to remove the black vein from the shrimp’s back. Rinse the shrimp one more time to clean, then use a paper towel to dry the shrimp.

  Put the shrimp heads in a pot with 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil and sauté for about 3 minutes over medium heat.

  When the shrimp heads turn orange-red, add 400ml of water to cook the broth for about 10 – 15 minutes.

  Tip: To make the broth tastier and clearer, you should skim off the white foam that rises to the surface while cooking.

  After boiling the broth for about 15 minutes, remove the shrimp heads. At this point, add the shrimp meat and blanch for about 3 – 5 minutes until cooked. After blanching, remove the shrimp meat and cut it into small pieces.
