Indonesia dish is known to have wonderful taste including delicious recipe shrimp Indonesia with delightful and flavorful appearance. Shrimp can be cooked in so many ways such as pan fried (yes, it is the simplest and the most popular way to cook the shrimp!), grilled, broiled, boiled, and so on. However, to have good taste you should be able to find great quality of shrimp too because the main ingredient and in this case is the shrimp will affect the end taste of your dish. Consider these things when buying shrimp at supermarket:
- Avoid buying fresh shrimp that displayed on the seafood section.
First thing first, it is better to pick out the frozen shrimp instead of choosing the shrimp that labeled as “fresh” on the seafood counter. Why? Because it is unsure whether the shrimp is really the freshest or they are previously thawed then displayed as fresh shrimp. Who knows that the fresh shrimp you see is actually several days or weeks ago caught before being delivered to the market. Frozen sometime is better alternative if you cannot find fresh and raw shrimp that still alive.
To make a better recipe shrimp Indonesia taste, better you cook with raw shrimp instead of pre-cooked or cooked one. Pre-cooked or cooked shrimp is more difficult to be added by additional flavor because they are already ruined, you will end up with awful taste sometime so it is best to cook with raw uncooked frozen shrimp.
- Purchase the best quality of frozen shrimp
Get your eyes and hands on the shrimp when you buying them at supermarket. First look for any odd visible signs of the shrimp to ensure that the shrimp is still in good condition. After that, if allowed by the seller, touch the shrimp and the flesh should be firm with bright and not dull appearance.
