Step 1
NoI really like frozen shrimps. I buy fresh prawns and peel them myself. It’s a bit troublesome to handle. Clean them. First, twist off the head and remove the internal organs of the shrimp. Then slowly pull out the shrimp thread, and then pinch the second half of the shrimp. Use the thumb and index finger of your left hand to peel off the first three sections of the shrimp, and turn around along the shrimp body to remove the shell. Then peel off the back two sections of shrimp, then clean them well, and immediately use the tip of the knife to start from the head to the tail of the shrimp. Cut open the back of the shrimp crosswise, being careful not to cut too deeply. This method of peeling shrimp shells is a bit troublesome. You can freeze them for 40 minutes. It is more convenient to peel the shrimps after they are frozen hard.Step 2
Open the back of the shrimp, clean it well, use kitchen paper to absorb the water from the shrimp, then add ginger, onion, garlic powder, salt, small lime juice and corn starch to mix well, marinate for 5 minutes, this will make it easier to absorb the flavor. Ginger, onion and garlic powder can also remove the smell, or you can replace it with white pepper powder.Step 3
Peel off the hard skin of the melon, and then cut it into pieces with a hob. Pay attention to the melon. If the core is hard, it is probably bitter and it is not recommended to eat it. Then cut the king oyster mushroom in the same way.Step 4
Boil an appropriate amount of water in the pot to at least cover the shrimps. Pour in the marinated shrimps at once. Blanch them over high heat for about 15 seconds until the shrimps change color. Take them out immediately. You can rinse them with cold water. Such shrimps will be more elastic, and then drain them. Water, set aside.Step 5
Heat a little oil in a pot, sauté the garlic until fragrant, pour in the pumpkin and king oyster mushroom pieces and stir-fry over high heat until soft. You can add a little water to stir-fry the pumpkin to make it green and juicy.Step 6
Then add the shrimp and stir-fry evenly, then add salt to taste and stir-fryStep 7
Finally, add cornstarch water and stir-fry to thicken, then turn off the heat, add a few drops of oil and serve. A delicious home-style shrimp braised with melon and king oyster mushroom is ready.Step 8

Appreciation of finished product 3 Cooking techniques for shrimp braised with melon and king oyster mushrooms1. Freshly cut the loofah and avoid long-term contact with the air. The loofah is rich in polyphenols, which can react with oxygen in the air to cause oxidation, causing the loofah to turn black. Place the loofah The longer it takes, the easier it is for the loofah to turn black.
2. When frying loofah, you must stir-fry it over high heat so that it does not turn black when fried. Moreover, it needs to be taken out of the pot immediately when it is cooked. The longer it is fried, the easier it is to turn black and become watery.
3. Shrimps tend to deteriorate easily in hot weather. They need to be marinated immediately after shelling. If there is no time to process, they need to be soaked in ice water.
