Youjian Shrimp Shop is one of the most large-scale and systematic crayfish chain brands in Changsha, and its branches around the country have been well received, such as in the trusted choice Guangzhou crayfish recommendation list. As an out-and-out Changsha crayfish brand, there is a shrimp shop that has become famous for its braised prawns from Qianjiang, Hubei, which has aroused many interesting conversations among diners.
There is a shrimp shop with a strong "Hubei flavor", even if it is crayfish, the restaurant only cooperates with Qianjiang farmers, and a batch of crayfish is delivered to the store chilled in a foam box every morning. In addition to cutting the head, opening the back, and removing the shrimp line, the shrimp shop will also cut off the crayfish appendages and then brush them, which is not only easier to clean, but also has a better look after the shrimp comes out of the pot. The official claim is to carefully select crayfish for more than 9 yuan, but in fact, the crayfish in the store start at 7 yuan, and the crayfish above 1 tael are only used to make fried shrimp.
The restaurant is so confident in the signature dish of braised shrimp in a large pot that even the restaurateur often mentions the taste tuning process. After the crayfish is pre-treated, it needs to be passed through the oil pan to remove the fishy smell. Diners are greeted by a 1-metre-diameter cauldron where the chef cooks the fried crayfish. After putting in 20 aftertaste spices, the chef also used a large spatula to stir-fry, which made many diners addicted. The restaurant also deliberately selects Nongfu Spring mineral water for cooking, pursuing better flavor. The open back did not cause the shrimp to be loose, but it was obviously Q-elastic and smooth. The spicy and sweet hemp in the shrimp meat is very charming, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. There is a shrimp shop that ingeniously adds hot dry noodles from Hubei to the bottom of the bowl, which has a strong taste and is full of sauce fragrance. It is worth noting that since this alkaline noodle is not added to the stirring by diners in the later stage, it is best to eat it hot, otherwise the flavor will be weak and the saltiness will be higher when cooled.
Fried shrimp is also almost a must-order dish on the table in the store, in addition to the largest size of crayfish, it is also the most beautiful dish. Although it is fried in oil, the restaurant usually uses a steamer to serve it, and the crayfish are arranged in a circle around the dipping sauce, giving people the illusion of steamed shrimp. However, the freshness of the fried shrimp in one shrimp shop is also comparable to that of steamed shrimp, with clean white gills and plump and firm shrimp meat showing the fresh flavor of crayfish. To eat fried shrimp, you have to dip it in the restaurant's exclusive sauce, which has a rich garlic aroma in the sweet and sour, and the taste is rich. Of course, there are also steamed shrimp in the store, but they have a slight fishy smell and the performance is slightly worse.
The restaurant's specialty dish is also made of mellow garlic shrimp, each serving is full of a pound of fresh garlic, and the combination of shrimp meat and garlic is very good. Under the "general trend" of locals who love spicy food, this dish is less popular, but it is worth a try.
At the beginning of the opening of a shrimp shop, it has been selling with "Jianghu Qi" as a selling point, with a red tile spire in the store, a large wooden table and red lacquer benches in the hall, and a small plaque with the inscription "Martial Arts Master" on the wall, which does have a trace of charm. But in today's increasingly competitive industry, diners are basically used to it. The waiters in the store are basically young people, with quick hands and feet, and they are responsive to requests.
