Shrimp Tempura, Shrimp Head Miso Soup and Shrimp Art (Dinner 1 September)
Got fresh shrimps from a local fish market,
What else I had in the fridge was,
an onion, a carrot and a frozen tofu.
Defrost tofu can gain very fluffy and interesting texture!
I removed shells and heads from each piece and decided to make miso soup with them.
Half portion was stored in freezer.
I made tempura with shrimp pieces, onion and carrot.
The directions was introduced in Tempura Udon.
Shrimp Head Miso Soup
1. Boil 400cc of water in a pan and add shrimp shells. Allow them to get gently boiled for 1 min
3. Add tofu and spring onion.
In case of a frozen tofu, heat it up in a microwave for 1 min and remove the extra water by squeezing it. Tear the tofu into pieces to put into the pan
4. Use a head of shrimp for decoration to serve.
To make the soup looks great, I used an artisan-made lacquer ware called "Hidehira-Nuri".
Hidehira-nuri is a traditional lacquer ware produced in a historic town, Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture.
Hiraizumi is a World Heritage Site of UNESCO.
With such nice ware and the decoration of the head,
this miso soup is a
luxury and rich with the shrimp flavour!!
However, Mr. Husband is scared of shrimp heads.

However, Mr. Husband is scared of shrimp heads.
His miso soup is shrimp head-less. So boring!!
Instead, use a shrimp head in my art.
Such as an organic helmet.
Time to prepare: 50 mins
Total cost: 2.5 pounds (2 for shrimps, 0.5 for other veggies)
