Garlic Shrimp

Method4 steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   处理海虾

   Use a knife to cut from the middle of the shrimp head, stopping 1 cm from the tail.

   用刀从从虾头中间切开，切到距离虾尾 1 cm

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Be careful with knife safety.注意用刀安全
   • 💡 Do not cut all the way through; keep the shrimp body connected.不要完全切断，保持虾身相连
   
2. 2

   Spread the Sauce

   铺设酱料

   Spread the garlic sauce along the center of the shrimp and place them on a plate.

   将蒜蓉酱铺在虾身中间，放在盘子中

   ⏱2 min

   • 💡 Spreading the sauce evenly helps the shrimp meat absorb more flavor.酱料铺匀可以使虾肉更入味
   
3. 3

   Steam over High Heat

   大火蒸制

   Pour hot water into the steamer, place the plate inside, and steam over high heat for 3 minutes.

   锅中倒入热水，将盘子放入锅中，大火蒸 3 分钟

   ⏱3 min

   • 💡 Be sure to use boiling water.一定要开水入锅
   • 💡 Do not steam for too long, or the shrimp meat will become tough.蒸制时间不宜过长，否则虾肉会老
   
4. 4

   Drizzle Oil to Enhance Flavor

   淋油提鲜

   Heat the oil, pour it over the shrimp on the plate, then add light soy sauce.

   烧热油，倒入虾盘中，倒入生抽

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 The oil temperature must be high enough; pouring it over the garlic will release its aroma.油温要足够高，淋在蒜蓉上能激发出香味
