Tracy’s Kitchen- Poached Grass Shrimp

How to make Poached Grass Shrimp?

Ingredients:

• 500g fresh grass shrimp (with shell)

• 1 slice of ginger

• 2 scallions (white part only)

• Water for poaching

• Salt (optional)

Dipping Sauce:

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 clove garlic (minced)

• 1 red chili (sliced)

• 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp:

• Rinse the shrimp under cold water and drain them. Leave the shells intact for flavor.

2. Boil the Water:

• In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to submerge the shrimp.

• Add the ginger slice and scallions for flavor.

3. Poach the Shrimp:

• Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn bright pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

• Remove the shrimp and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the tender texture.

4. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

• In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, chili, and sesame oil.

5. Serve:
