Main raw materials: Acetes shrimp, salt, etc. Equipment and tools: iron wok, baskets, flow-through stove. Production method: Grade and sort the Acetes shrimp; if there is a lot of debris, use a sieve to screen it; if the raw materials are not clean, wash them, then place them in baskets to drain, with each basket holding about 6 kg of Acetes shrimp. The following methods can be used for cooking: ① Basket-rotating cooking method. Fill an iron wok with a diameter of 90 cm seven-tenths full of fresh water, add 2 kg of salt, and after bringing to a boil, sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt onto the basket of drained shrimp (at a ratio of 15 kg of salt per 50 kg of premium-grade Acetes shrimp, 2.5 kg of salt for grade-one shrimp, 3.5 kg of salt for grade-two shrimp, and 4.5 kg of salt for grade-three shrimp), then place it into the wok, cover with a lid, and after it comes to a boil, remove the lid and use a basket needle to prod the basket body so that it rotates, making the shrimp cook evenly; when the shrimp whiskers straighten out, take out the shrimp basket and place it in a ventilated place to cool. Generally, change the water in the wok once every 5-8 baskets cooked, to prevent the wok water from becoming too salty and affecting the quality of the finished product.
