When boiling shrimp ebi, you must keep the lid off the pan in order to determine the perfect time of when the ebi is cooked. After boiling the ebi for about 30 seconds the ebi will come up to the top and then sink back down, then after about 15 more seconds it was then come to the top one more time. The second time it comes back up is when it is at it's perfect texture, then ice bath. -Sushi Sous Chef @ Blue ribbon Sushi
Icing shrimp/crabs/lobster etc, shocks them and sorta puts them into sleep. It doesn't kill it and its easier to work with. I wanted to preserve the quality of the meat. You'll get a better result cooking crustaceans this way; especially with crabs.
Let's see.... option 1- Kill the little guys first before cooking them because it's humane and it will still taste damn good or..... Option 2- Let's go ahead and put them into a bullshit "sleep" and torture them alive because the meat will taste better! I am a meat eater but I also understand suffering extends to all species. It is sickening people still choose option #2.
you know that even if you buy them already dead, someone had to kill the shrimps at some point and maybe in more cruel manner. Because you cannot handle killing it yourself doesn't make it more humane, I think it is even worse. Killing the naimal you are going to eat teaches you to respect their lives and to not waste food needlessly, it is in my opinion the best way of consuming animal food. so get off your high horses you are not better than the rest of us, at least Sushi everyday respects his ingredients.
It´s only a food. If they were not be skewed before boiling, they were be rolled so you cannot use them, in this straight position you can easily put them on a piece of rice and make an awesome dish. If you wanna cook tasty food, you cannot be scared of killing animals because that is the way you get really fresh ingredients. Good luck
Jakub Krystek You also kill a lobster before you cook it. You chop through its head. I think skewing the shrimps without killing them first is illegal. Boiling a lobster without killing it first is.
actually did it twice in the meantime - once with fresh (not frozen) and live like you did in this video - both results very good as even the fresh ones were just put on ice ( for transport ) in a box ( but as said not frozen before or in the meantime ) so it was kinda "similar" effect ( like putting them in ice cold water ) ... perfect taste ( not to be compared with tasteless "done shrimps in a can" ) ...
Asia is good for that - i loved it there ( i am in EU ) - you can buy live fish/crabs/shrimps on the street directly from a tank as you mentioned in your comment :-)
You can catch them in summer time in the flats of Desoto Park or even get some from your bait store. I've eaten plenty of leftover bait shrimp. MD oriental market in Pinellas sells farm raised shrimps.
Cow, goat, rabbit, shrimp. They are all food but I'll tell you it's far better to to at least pop it in the head before you process any animal, at least give it that much respect. I mean shit, it died so you can eat, can a shrimp at least die easy. Stab it in the head before you go impale it mouth to ass, won't be out of your way that much.
What type of shrimp is that and where can you get live shrimp in Canada it's almost impossible to find shrimp live except for spot prawns when in season
Its White shrimp, farmed from Florida. I wish we can get some live Spots here, they are so good raw. You're lucky! Try using other fresh shrimp, it'll still be great.
Sushi Everyday ok thanks you should come visit Canada one day it's just a shame that spot prawn season is so short but when it's spot prawn season I try to stock up on
Sushi Everyday I'm not a fisherman and I don't know how to fish spot prawns because I live in Quebec and spot prawns are in british colombia but I think they use traps like how they fish for lobster
Reading the comments on the treatment of the shrimp is redundant. In the wild there going to be eviscerated by predators, half ate alive, so please.... bring more boiled morsels

AM IN LOVE WITH SUSHI
Just found this channel today. Easily my new favorite sushi channel. Nigiri skills are on point.
Hope it helps!
0:12 aww! It's wriggling!
Just for curiosity, why didn't you kill the shrimps at first, then ice bath them, then skewered them and so on?

exactly......
Putting fish in an ice bath live also draws the blood to the organs, it helps the meat stay firm and keep good color.

Saw Delicious Iam Hungry Now!
I would still want to eat it.
Thanks for sharing
am i the only one uncomfortable with skeviring shrimps alive?
u are not

maybe you can screw off the head and skewed the shrimp afterwards!!!

@love3v3 i agree with u
I take it the skewers keep them from curling up can this be done with headless shrimp
Yes, it can be done
Last weekend tried this exactely this way - GREAT results - guests were very happy ( me too of course ;-) - keep on posting these nice videos ;-) !
Thank you very much, glad this helped you. Did you use live shrimp?
actually did it twice in the meantime - once with fresh (not frozen) and live like you did in this video - both results very good as even the fresh ones were just put on ice ( for transport ) in a box ( but as said not frozen before or in the meantime ) so it was kinda "similar" effect ( like putting them in ice cold water ) ... perfect taste ( not to be compared with tasteless "done shrimps in a can" ) ...
MGA Nice! Nothing like fresh shrimp. Wish more people have access to fresh ones. most in the US are frozen.
Asia is good for that - i loved it there ( i am in EU ) - you can buy live fish/crabs/shrimps on the street directly from a tank as you mentioned in your comment :-)
that was amazing chef
Looks great and easy to do! Thanks!
Lo empalas vivoo???😱
OMG! it is very disgusting!!!!
I like sushi. Tanks you for making these videos. Keep up the good work. Too bad you'll not in South Africa.
that looks yummy
at least kill it first...those who don't want to skewer an alive creature should start by cutting off the shrimp's head...
Thank you 😘
Amazing tutorials. I live near you in Clearwater Beach. Where do you get your live shrimp?
You can catch them in summer time in the flats of Desoto Park or even get some from your bait store. I've eaten plenty of leftover bait shrimp. MD oriental market in Pinellas sells farm raised shrimps.
How do you make your sushi rice
Cow, goat, rabbit, shrimp. They are all food but I'll tell you it's far better to to at least pop it in the head before you process any animal, at least give it that much respect. I mean shit, it died so you can eat, can a shrimp at least die easy. Stab it in the head before you go impale it mouth to ass, won't be out of your way that much.
Beautiful music to go with the shrimp nigiri ... could you tell us the name of the artist? Many thanks.
Thanks! The music is free for creators on youtube. Song is in the description now.
what size is that shrimp?
Much better way to have straight shimp !
but the tail isnt edible, is it?
Omg theyre still alive😆😆😆
What type of shrimp is that and where can you get live shrimp in Canada it's almost impossible to find shrimp live except for spot prawns when in season

Samuel _lovehockey88 Oh man I would love to do some fishing in Canada some day. Show me how Spot fishing is done and I'll show you sushi.
Sushi Everyday I'm not a fisherman and I don't know how to fish spot prawns because I live in Quebec and spot prawns are in british colombia but I think they use traps like how they fish for lobster
Sushi Everyday you can find videos on the internet
i think i missed something what are the skewers for?
It will keep the tail straight as they are cooked
to keep it from curling while cooking and the cold both make sure it stays firm while the skewer is in
Wrong direction to skewer the shrimp,
Reading the comments on the treatment of the shrimp is redundant. In the wild there going to be eviscerated by predators, half ate alive, so please.... bring more boiled morsels
2 mins is overcooked
ur squeezing the rice too hard
This ia a very japanese technique! 😬🤐
THIS IS SO SAD.......IF THIS IS HOW THEY MAKE IT.........I NEVER WANT TO EAT IT AGAIN
This is nasty, you must remove the vein before cooking it, not just rinse it with water. It's the shrimp's poop 🤮
