How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Quality Shrimp
-
You should choose fresh shrimp with a translucent shell and a smell of the sea when sniffed.
- Prioritize shrimp with the head tightly attached to the body, when held firmly and not slippery.
-
Do not choose shrimp with soft shells and widely spread legs as these are often injected with water. Therefore, when buying shrimp, check the legs, head, and tail carefully.
How to choose the right squid
-
Fresh squid will have bright colors, with the brown part being dark brown, while the body of the squid will be milky white.
-
When touching the body of the squid, if you feel that the squid meat is firm and has high elasticity, then you should buy it.
- Additionally, the head and the tentacles, whiskers of fresh squid will stick tightly together. Non-fresh squid will have these parts often soft and easily separated.
-
Avoid choosing squid with cloudy, bulging eyes and a slimy body.

Prepare and marinate shrimp and squid
Peel the shrimp, remove the head and take out the black vein on the back, then rinse with water and drain.
For the squid, clean it by pulling out the head and tentacles, using a knife to cut off the eyes and beak, then rub with a little salt. After that, rinse the squid clean and let it drain. Next, cut the squid into bite-sized pieces about 1/4 of a finger thick.
Put the shrimp and squid into a bowl, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, and let it sit for about 15 minutes for the shrimp and squid to absorb the flavors.
