My Say in Ebi - The Shrimp(cooked, raw, small,medium,big)
Ebi means shrimp in Japanese. It is simple but nice. Shrimp can be served raw or cooked in nigiri sushi. The cooked ones are more chewy in texture and the raw ones taste a bit more watery (should not be be too slimy if the shrimp is fresh enough or big enough).
Bigger shrimp has a better texture and usually is me pricey. As some people are not very used to eating meat raw, it might be a good idea to eat these crustacean cooked because they might contain quite a lot of bacterias if uncooked. Actually I always think that raw crustaceans would have more bacteria than raw sea fish. But then eating a piece or two of them is still a delicacy.
Shrimp can also be made in tempura and tempura shrimp appears in a lot of chef creation rolls that I will mention later on. I think it will blend well with almost every ingredient to give a full and rich flavor.
As with other seafood, shrimp is high in calcium and protein but low in food energy. A shrimp-based meal is also a significant source of cholesterol, from 7 mg to 251 mg per 100 g of shrimp, depending on the method of preparation.
You can try shrimp sushi in different sizes:
Cooked Ebi
Raw Ebi
Big Ebi
Huge Ebi
MONSTER Ebi
(no such thing...look for a lobster maybe)
