  Prepare the ingredients

  First, after buying the shrimp, you wash them thoroughly, use scissors to separate the shrimp heads, then peel the shells and remove the shrimp veins. After that, wash them again and cut the shrimp meat into small cubes.

  For the shrimp shells, wash them clean so that they can be added to the pot of porridge to cook along with the shrimp heads.

  Next, rinse the rice with clean water about 2 – 3 times, drain it, then place a pan on the stove, and roast the rice on low heat until it turns golden.

  After that, clean the roots and any spoiled leaves of the cilantro, wash them thoroughly with water, and then chop them finely.

  Cooking shrimp porridge

  Add 300ml of clean water to the pot, bring the water to a boil, then add the shrimp heads and shells along with 1/2 spoon of salt, and cook for about 10 minutes to extract the sweet broth.

  After that, remove the shrimp heads and shells, then add another 200ml of water and the toasted rice to cook.

  Cook the porridge over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the rice grains expand. To prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pot, you need to stir continuously during cooking.

  Once the porridge has reached the desired expansion, add the shrimp meat, stir well, and season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate. You can adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste and then turn off the heat.
