Shanghai Drunken Prawns

Chinese Drunken Prawns

Drunken shrimp

Ingredients:

500 grams of shrimp, garlic cloves, ginger, sugar, salt, 150 grams of high-quality liquor, 200 grams of rice wine

Method:

Rinse the shrimps under tap water for about 10 minutes

Soak the shrimps in a basin of warm water for a further 10 minutes

Mix the liquor with the rice wine

Steep the shrimp in this alcohol solution and add crushed garlic, ginger, salt and sugar (to taste) and leave them for half an hour

The alcohol level of the mixture should remain at at least 50 percent, because it is also necessary to kill any remaining parasites on the shrimp roe. And the liquor used should be of a very high quality, because it will naturally be consumed alongside the shrimp.

People who are not used to alcohol should refrain from enjoying too much drunken shrimp. Online forums have noted how some motorists who have consumed drunken shrimp have even been tested positive for driving over the alcohol limit, so caution is advised.
