DRUNKEN SHRIMP



Drunken Shrimp image

Because this dish has only two ingredients, finding the best shrimp is of utmost importance. In Hong Kong, where only live fish is considered fresh, live shrimp are common. Here you may find them at some fishmongers (especially in Chinese neighborhoods) and even in some Western supermarkets. The wine traditionally used for this dish in the south of China is Mei Kuei Lu Chiew and is quite strong and a little sweet; you can find it at many Chinese markets. Shopping hassles aside, this dish is worth trying. Serve it with an assortment of other Chinese dishes or as a starter.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound medium shrimp, preferably live
1 1/4 cups Mei Kuei Lu Chiew, dry Gewürztraminer, or gin

Steps:

  • If you are using live shrimp, run them under cold water to clean them thoroughly. In any case, leave the shells on. Place the shrimp in a bowl with 1 cup of the wine, cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a wok or deep skillet over high heat, then add the remaining 1/4 cup wine. When the wine is almost boiling, carefully ignite it, then immediately add the shrimp with its marinade. (If you are not comfortable igniting the wine, bring it to a rolling boil.) Cook the shrimp, stirring, until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stir-Fry     Shrimp

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
¾ cup beer
¼ cup ketchup

1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over high heat, and cook and stir onion, garlic, and ginger just until fragrant, about 15 seconds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the sauce before cooking helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Drunken shrimp is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Asian drunken shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful sauce and then cooked until they are just cooked through. Serve them immediately with rice or noodles.
