Authentic Anhui green pepper fried small river shrimp, hidden a few home tips, but also the mother did many years of experience. First of all, the river shrimp must be fresh, translucent and uniform. The taste of frozen river shrimp will be greatly reduced. When cleaning, it is only necessary to simply wash and cut off the shrimp whiskers. It is not necessary to remove the shrimp shells and keep the shrimp shells more crispy. Secondly, the green pepper should be selected from the local thin-skinned green pepper with moderate spiciness and strong fragrance. Do not choose thick-skinned vegetable pepper. The most important thing is to stir-fried in the whole process, avoid stir-frying for a long time, otherwise the river shrimp will grow old and become firewood, and the green pepper will lose its crisp and tender taste. Only a little salt and a little white sugar are needed for seasoning to improve freshness, and no heavy seasoning such as soy sauce and oyster sauce is needed to avoid covering up the clear sweetness of the river shrimp itself.

When I grew up, I left the river and moved to live in the city. It was very difficult to eat the fresh shrimps that had just been fished ashore. The frozen shrimps in the supermarket could not make the sweet taste made by my mother. Every time I return to my hometown, my father always goes to the river to get fresh shrimps in advance. My mother still uses the most traditional fast-handed method to stir-fry a plate of green pepper shrimps. At the moment when the table is served, the familiar spicy aroma comes to my face.
