Home-style Steamed Shrimp Fried in Betel Nut Peanut Sauce


The is not just delicious because of the crispy shrimp, but also due to the fried garlic and golden bread crumbs.The fragrance is especially good when hot, making it a delightful snack cold as well. Sometimes, I even find that the fried bread crumbs fried with garlic are more enjoyable than the shrimp. Don't you agree? Ingredients
Main ingredients 12 shrimp,
Half a bell pepper,Oil in appropriate amount, 3 grams of salt, half a head of garlic, enough bread crumbs, and an appropriate amount of starch. 15 milliliters of cooking wine, 1 gram of black pepper powder,3 slices of ginger, Half a green onion,Steps 1. Wash the shrimp clean and remove the shrimp vein by cutting open the back with scissors.
2. Marinate the shrimp in salt, cooking wine, black pepper powder, ginger, and green onion for 15 minutes.

3. Cut the bell pepper into small pieces and chop the garlic (do not chop it too finely to maintain a granular texture).

4. Heat oil in a pot until it is about six or seven tenths full, coat the shrimp with a thin layer of starch, and fry until they change color, then remove them.

5. Increase the heat so that the oil is eight or nine tenths full, return the shrimp to the pan for re-frying, and drain the excess oil before setting aside (double frying makes the shrimp extra crispy).

6. Leave a little bottom oil in the pot, add the chopped garlic and fry until golden and fragrant.

7. Add the bread crumbs and fry until they turn golden; be careful not to burn them due to high heat.

8. Pour in the fried shrimp, season with salt, and then remove from heat before serving.

Tips

1. When frying garlic, do not use too much oil; this results in a drier and crispier bread crumbs. My oil was slightly more than necessary in the picture, making it less dry but still delicious.
2. Twice-fried shrimp is similar to twice-cooking methods used for sweet-and-sour rib meat, ensuring an extra crispy texture.
Fry the garlic with minimal oil to achieve a drier and crispier bread crumb.
Shrimp should be fried twice, similar to making caramel.VinegarRib meat The same principle applies.
