Deveining Shrimps

д§mд — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:48:04 +0000

Since deveining shrimps is a totally new thing to me and telephonic instructions doesn’t count a lot I took refuge in Internet.

Interesting things that I found.

Deveining Shrimps – A Video

And the pictures and text from here.
Unless you’re serving a shrimp boil or grilling shrimp for a laid-back get-together, peeling and cleaning shrimp before cooking them makes for a more tasty and attractive presentation.

1. To peel raw shrimp, start underneath, where their legs are attached. If you like, leave the last tail segment on for looks.

2. Devein by making a shallow slit down the middle of the back to expose the black intestine. (To butterfly, make the slit deeper.)

3. Lift out the black vein with the point of a paring knife and wipe it off on a paper towel. You can also rinse it out under cold running water.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs of Shrimps (Prawns) (shelled & de-veined)

1 Egg White

2 1/4 tbsp. of Corn Flour

A bunch of Fresh Coriander (roughly chopped)

1 tsp. of Ginger Paste

1 tsp. of Garlic Paste

1/2 tsp. of Black Pepper Powder

Salt (to taste)

Cooking Oil (for deep frying)

Recipe

1) Set aside the chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.

2) Shell the shrimp (prawns), wash them thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel. Mix the shrimp (prawns) and all of the above ingredients together (except the oil). Make into a walnut (or even smaller) sized balls and set aside.

3) In a deep skillet heat the oil. When the oil gets hot lower the heat to medium and fry these balls in the oil until golden brown.

Tip: If you prefer, instead of making balls, use a tablespoon to spoon out the shrimp mixture into the hot oil.
