How to prepare Shrimp Corn Soup

• 1

  Prepare the shrimp

  Peel the shrimp and remove the black vein, then wash them thoroughly and let them drain.

  Next, dice the shrimp and marinate with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, sugar, and pepper each, mixing well to let the shrimp absorb the spices.

  Tip for quickly removing shrimp veins

  • Count backward from the shrimp’s tail to the second groove connecting two segments of the shell, insert a toothpick through this spot and gently pull the black vein to remove it.
  • You can also use a toothpick to gently pry the head of the shrimp to see the black vein. Use your fingers to carefully pull this black thread out, and the shrimp will be clean.

  Cook the soup

  Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil, then add the corn kernels and corn cobs and cook for 10 minutes.

  After 10 minutes, add the carrots; when the mixture comes to a boil again, remove the corn cobs.

  Next, add shrimp, mushrooms, and quail eggs, then cook for an additional 5 minutes. After that, season to taste.

  Beat 2 eggs and pour them into the pot through a sieve.

  To thicken the soup, dissolve 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch in water, then gradually pour it into the pot while stirring well. Cook until the soup mixture comes to a boil again.

  Tip:

  • During cooking, remember to skim off all the white foam to keep the soup clear!
  • If you don’t have a slotted spoon, you can gradually pour the eggs into the pot while continuously stirring with chopsticks.
  • You can also adjust the thickness of the soup by varying the amount of tapioca starch added.
