This is one of our favorite. Calvin and I love this dish and we always order it at the restaurant. One day, I decided to try it at home. Well, having at home of course its way cheaper than in a restaurant. One good thing having it at home is that, you don’t have to worry about being messy. And you can lick your 10 fingers without worrying about the eyes on you in public.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb (500g) uncooked jumbo shrimp
1/2 tsp salt
3 green onions (scallions), halved
8 thin slices ginger root
2 tbsp Chinese rice wine
Method:
Remove the feelers of the shrimp but keep the shells and heads on. Rinse thoroughly and drain. Pour water in a steamer and bring to the boil. Arrange one half of the green onions and 4 slices of ginger in a deep dish, arrange the shrimp over the top, and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the remaining green onions and sliced ginger over the shrimp. When the water has reached a rolling boil, stand the shrimp in the steamer, and steam on high for 10-15 minutes. Remove the shrimp out the steamer and drizzle with wine. Serve hot.
