My Family's Secret Recipe!? Minced Shrimp

• 250 grams Small prawns
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 5 ml Mirin
• 1 Sake for boiling

1. Use small shrimp for frying, which are easy on budget.
2. If they're small shrimp, any kind is okay.
3. Refer to the picture.
4. Boil water, add a little sake, and boil the shrimp.
5. This removes the distinct raw shrimp smell.
6. When you finish boiling, peel just this amount.
7. It only ends up with this much!
8. Compare to the plastic bottle cap on the side.
9. Put in a mortar and smash the shrimp.
10. Once it's smashed, it'll begin to meld together.
11. Once it clumps together, add the seasonings.
12. It'll begin to look like a paste.
13. Roll together everything in the bowl into a ball.
14. Heat into a non-stick pan over low heat and break it up using 4 cooking chopsticks.
15. Be careful not to let it burn as you crumble it.
16. It will slowly become fine.
17. Once it's cooked through and dry, it's done.
18. It's good on top of hot rice.
19. It goes really well with sushi.
20. My family's standard is using it with pressed sushi.
