Japanese Lobster Style? Ama Ebi (Sweet Shrimp) Miso Soup
- 20 head Ama-ebi (sweet shrimp) heads
- 3 tbsp Miso
- 400 ml Dashi stock
- 1 Scallions
- This is a pack of sashimi-ready sweet shrimp.
- Turn the shrimp out into a sieve and wash well under running water and drain.
- Throw the heads into a pot.
- Peel the bodies and eat as sashimi, in salads, or however you like.
- Put the dashi in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.
- After simmering the dashi for a while, add shrimp heads.
- Tap them with the back of a ladle and extract the umami (avoid crushing a few of the shrimp heads, which will be used to decorate the soup when you serve it).
- Dissolve miso to finish.
- Serve in bowls.
- Garnish with plenty of chopped scallions and enjoy!
- I used the shrimp bodies in a salad.
