Shrimp soup recipes
Shrimp brings a strong flavour and scent of the ocean to any dish it is added to.
They can be added straight to soups or they can be minced and added with other ingredients to form new tastes and forms.
Always use fresh shrimps for making soups.
Be meticulous about removing dirt from the shrimps.
Shrimp balls soup with mushrooms
The shrimp balls look like apples with the celery sticks sticking out. Add more than one type of mushrooms to make the soup more interesting.
I was taught since young that when boiling dumplings, fish balls, or meat balls, they are ready when they float to the surface of the water. Never fail yet.
