4. Things to note when making delicious coconut caramelized shrimp
1. Tips for the best coconut caramelized shrimp
- When choosing ingredients, you should select fresh shrimp, especially river shrimp, the fresher, the better. If you can find live shrimp, just cut off the whiskers and remove the black line on the back without cutting off the shrimp head. When marinating the shrimp, do not marinate with salt because when cooked, the shrimp shell will not be crispy, and the meat may shrink. When adding coconut milk to caramelize with the shrimp, you should caramelize the shrimp over medium heat so that the shrimp can absorb the coconut milk, avoiding the situation where the coconut milk evaporates quickly and does not penetrate deep into the shrimp meat, reducing the delicious taste of the dish.
