The process of making blanched shrimp is very meticulous, and the selection of ingredients is even more crucial. Only fresh and lively shrimps can present a more natural and sweet taste. When choosing shrimp, it is important to note that those with a shiny appearance, thin shells, thick meat and no peculiar smell are better choices. After cleaning the shrimps thoroughly, remove the whiskers but keep the shells and heads to preserve their original flavor.

The cooking method of blanched shrimp seems simple, but it requires accurate control of the heat. Add a little salt, ginger slices and scallion sections to clear water and bring it to a boil. Let the shrimps blanch quickly in the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. At this point, both the water temperature and the cooking time must be accurately controlled. It is neither advisable to overcook the shrimp meat, causing it to become tough and lose its elasticity, nor to overcook it, which would affect the taste. When the shrimps turn bright red and their shells slightly curl, immediately take them out and quickly immerse them in ice water to make the meat firm instantly and maintain its tender texture.

The deliciousness of blanched shrimp is not only reflected in the fresh shrimp but also in the combination of dipping sauces. The classic dipping sauce is made with minced garlic, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and a little sesame oil. Some people prefer to add a little chopped red pepper and coriander to enhance the flavor. One by one, the blanched shrimps are gently peeled, revealing their tender and plump flesh. Dipped in the prepared sauce, they are sweet and fresh in taste, with tender and smooth meat, leaving a lasting impression.

Blanched shrimp is not only delicious but also rich in nutritional value, making it an ideal dish that combines both deliciousness and nutrition.

The unique charm of blanched shrimp also lies in the pure taste experience brought by its simple cooking method. Without complicated seasonings or strong flavors to mask it, the natural freshness and deliciousness of the shrimp are retained and displayed to the greatest extent. This almost original cooking method not only allows people to savor the fresh air of the sea, but also reflects the essence of Cantonese cuisine that reveres nature and returns to authenticity.

Overall, blanched shrimp is undoubtedly a classic dish that showcases boundless deliciousness in simplicity. With its simple cooking method, it retains the natural deliciousness of the shrimp to a greater extent, bringing endless sweetness and satisfaction with every bite. Whether it's a family dinner or a get-together with friends, blanched shrimp always wins high praise from diners with its irresistible deliciousness. If you haven't tried this dish yet, why not cook it yourself and enjoy the freshness and deliciousness brought by blanched shrimp together?
