Soon, the golden oil in the pot turned into a ruddy shrimp oil from the shrimp heads.
This shrimp oil then re-fried the shrimp shells and Large Shrimp, making the already ruddy shells even more brilliantly red and enticing.
Once both sides of the Large Shrimp were fried, Lin Xu added a ladle of Rice Wine to the pot.
He then added a large bowl of water, one and a half small spoonfuls of salt, and a handful of Crystal Sugar, according to the amount of Large Shrimp in the pot.
Finally, he put in a handful of minced ginger and then covered the pot to let them braise.
High heat should not be used for braising, as it would overcook the shrimp meat. Low heat was sufficient.
"Aren't you adding scallions, Xiao Xu?" Second Aunt Lin Hongxia asked.
"No, adding scallions would create an unpleasant scallion odor. Minced ginger alone is enough."
"It looks so simple. I'll try it when I get back."
"I'll try it too. If I learn this, I'll have an extra signature dish for the family."
