Question 1

What is jasmine rice?

Accepted Answer

Jasmine rice and white rice are very similar in some ways but not in others. For example, the nutrition facts are a bit different. They both have four grams of protein and one gram of fiber per serving. But jasmine has a few more carbs and 20 more calories than white. Also, jasmine is slightly sticky and fluffy, making it an excellent addition to any meal. And it comes in many colors including black, purple, red, white, and brown rice. In addition, jasmine rice is more flavorful with a nutty taste.

Question 2

What is the best way to devein shrimp?

Accepted Answer

First, pull off the legs and head from the raw shrimp. Then, starting with the head, pull off the shell. You can leave the tail on, depending on what you are making and how you are serving it. For example, leaving the tail on gives you something to hang onto while dipping. However, if you are making this honey orange firecracker shrimp recipe, you will want to remove the tails. Be sure to rinse it well.

Question 3

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely use frozen shrimp for this honey orange firecracker shrimp. If you plan ahead, defrost the shrimp in the fridge for about 24 hours before you plan to make them. Otherwise, you can do a quick thaw. For a quick thaw, put the shrimp in a bowl and cover it with cold water. Put a small plate or lid on top of the shrimp to keep it submerged. Allow it to sit in the water for 15 to 20 minutes to thaw. Lay on paper towels to dry before cooking.

Question 4

How can I make my own orange zest?

Accepted Answer

To make your own orange zest for this recipe or any other recipes you want to make, you can use a vegetable peeler, box grater, or microplane. The easiest way is with a microplane, which is a handheld grater with sharp holes. You can also use the smallest holes in your box grater. Just hold the microplane in your hand at an angle and drag the orange down over the holes. For a box grater, you can just set it on a hard surface. It is important to only get the orange part of the skin. You do not want any of the white parts. This is called the pith and it is very bitter. To get the strips you need for this orange shrimp recipe, you could also use a vegetable peeler to remove the orange part of the skin and then cut it into strips.

Question 5

What is the difference between green onions, scallions, and shallots?

Accepted Answer

First of all, green onions and scallions are the same things. The only difference is what your grocery store calls them. However, shallots are not the same. Although they are very similar and can be substituted, this does not work in all recipes. Green onions or scallions are immature bulbs before they are fully formed. A shallot is allowed to grow to a full onion that grows as a bulb similar to garlic. In substitution, it is recommended to use chives instead of scallions and garlic instead of shallots.
