How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- You should choose shrimp with a transparent outer shell, the head and body of the shrimp firmly attached to each other, and the shell joints on the shrimp body flexible and not detached.
- You can press and gently move on the shrimp shell to check its freshness. If you feel a gritty texture inside or if the shrimp is slimy when moved, do not buy it.
- Do not choose shrimp with a flared tail and a straight, plump body, as these shrimp may have been injected with water to make them swollen.
What is Mozzarella cheese?
- Mozzarella is also a traditional cheese originating from Italy.
- Mozzarella cheese belongs to the cream cheese group, made mainly from buffalo or cow’s milk, which is white or slightly yellow.
- This type of cheese is often sold in shredded form when dry, or in slices when fresh.

Then, add the prepared shrimp and stir-fry with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
