How to prepare Stir-fried shrimp with chicken leg mushrooms

  Prepare the shrimp

  To eliminate the fishy smell, after removing the shells, heads, and legs of the shrimp, you use a knife to cut along the back of the shrimp and then use the tip of the knife to remove the shrimp’s intestinal tract. After that, rinse the shrimp twice with diluted salt water, then take them out and let them drain.

  Quick tip to remove shrimp intestines

  • Method 1: Turn the shrimp upside down, hold the head of the shrimp with one hand and the upper part of the shrimp’s body with the other hand, keeping the two points of contact about one finger’s width apart. Next, gently bend the head of the shrimp and squeeze lightly from the bottom up to push the waste at the head of the shrimp out. Hold the shrimp waste and slowly pull the intestinal tract out of the body. Be careful not to pull too quickly to avoid breaking the shrimp’s intestine.
  • Method 2: Turn the shrimp over, hold the body of the shrimp with one hand, and with the other hand, peel the sides of the shrimp’s head, holding tightly at the joint of the head and body, then slowly separate the head from the body. At this time, the shrimp intestine will also be pulled out along with the waste at the head of the shrimp.
