Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Amaebi

    Rinse the Amaebi under cold running water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    In a bowl, mix ice water and sea salt. Submerge the cleaned Amaebi in the ice water for about 10 minutes to enhance their sweetness and texture.

  3. 3

    Peeling and Cleaning

    After soaking, carefully peel the shells off the Amaebi, starting from the head and moving towards the tail. Remove the intestines by making a small slit along the back and gently pulling it out.

Serving Preparation

  1. 4

    Plate the Shrimp

    Arrange the peeled Amaebi on a chilled plate. Ensure they are neatly placed for an appealing presentation.

  2. 5

    Add Garnishes

    Place a small mound of shredded daikon radish next to the shrimp. Add a dollop of wasabi for an extra kick.

  3. 6

    Serve with Soy Sauce

    Pour the soy sauce into a small bowl and serve alongside the plate of Amaebi for dipping.
