Tips:

  • For authentic drunken shrimp, choose prawns that are fresh and medium-sized. Larger prawns can be used, but they may take longer to cook.
  • If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine. However, Shaoxing wine will give the shrimp a more authentic flavor.
  • For a spicier dish, add some chili peppers or chili oil to the sauce. You can also add a bit of sugar to balance out the sourness of the vinegar.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve drunken shrimp immediately with steamed rice or noodles. You can also garnish the dish with chopped scallions or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Drunken shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, sour, or sweet, drunken shrimp is sure to please everyone at your table.
