Production process

Soak the crayfish in water for at least 30 minutes. After soaking fully, wash the belly and tail of the lobster with a brush, then remove the lobster tail line, wash it again, and finally Drain.

Heat the pan, pour the oil, when the oil temperature is completely raised (after smoking), add the crayfish and soak in the oil for 1 minute, until the color is bright red, then take it out.

Bring the prepared sweet and spicy brine to a boil, put the oiled lobster into the brine, lower the heat for 5 minutes, soak for 5 minutes, then remove and serve!

The taste of female shrimp is more delicious. (The way to identify female lobsters is to see if there is a pair of small triangular spines on the epidermis under the joint between the head and body of the shrimp. If so, it is a female crayfish.)

The way to remove shrimp threads from crayfish is to pull them Hold a piece of shell in the middle of the tail, turn it slightly and pull it, and the shrimp line can be pulled out. Lobsters can also be decapitated. Just cut them off with scissors in the triangle area. Here, you can decapitate them directly. If you don’t remove the head, the time will be slightly longer, stewing for 8 minutes and soaking for 10 minutes.

If you don’t like spicy food, please use five-spice flavored brine. For the preparation method, please click on Five-Spice Flavored Brine Making. To make it at home, please mix the old brine paste with 10 times of water, stir well and bring to a boil.

In order to make it more delicious, you can also drizzle some marinade on the lobster after it is taken out of the pot.
