Instructions

  • Firstly, we should prepare 1 kg mantis shrimps. Then cut the clamp, feelers, and tail spikes of mantis shrimp. It can help us to prevent sticking our tongue while eating mantis shrimp. Then save them for later.
  • After that, we should marinate mantis shrimps. Firstly, add 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1 tablespoon chili sauce into the pot. Stir them evenly. Then add mantis shrimps into the pot. Stir them evenly. Then marinate mantis shrimps for 10 minutes.
  • When the mantis shrimps are marinating, we should prepare other ingredients for this food. Cut 2 cloves of garlic, save them for later. Cut 1 red pepper, save it for later. Cut 1 green pepper, save it for later.
  • Next, we should fry mantis shrimps. Firstly, drain the mantis shrimps and save them for later. Then add enough sunflower oil into the pan. Use the big fire to heat it. When we put the chopsticks into the oil if we can see the oil bubbling up to the top that means the heat is enough to fry the mantis shrimps. Then we add the drained mantis shrimps into the pan. Fry them to be crisp. If you use the gas cooker, it will take about 3 minutes. If you use an induction cooker, it will take about 6 minutes. We should fry them carefully and use the pan cover to prevent the oil to spatter. After that, drain and save them for later.
