Detailed Steps for Cooking Fresh Shrimp and White Rice Porridge Chaozhou Clay Pot Porridge
Rinse the rice and soak for 30 to 45 minutes, soaking for an hour is even better!
While soaking the rice, prepare the shrimp by trimming the claws and whiskers, and making a slit on the back of the shrimp.
Place the rinsed rice in the clay pot, add a little peanut oil, and mix well.
Pour water into the pot with rice, ensuring the water covers the second joint of your index finger.
Heat over medium heat, and continuously stir with a spoon in the pot to evenly heat the rice.
After about 20 minutes of boiling, the rice is mostly cooked. Add the shrimp to the pot, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
By this point, the rice in the pot has become sticky and the grains have opened up. Add sliced celery to the pot, season with salt to taste, and if the water in the pot is too low, add some more water as needed. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes before serving.
