What is the preparation method of Longjing shrimp?

Shrimp in Longjing is the most representative special dish in Hangzhou. It is not only delicious, but also particularly beautiful. The fragrant West Lake Longjing tea is mixed with the crisp taste of shrimp, which is particularly attractive.

When it comes to Longjing shrimp, there is actually an allusion to this dish: It is said that Emperor Qianlong once visited a tea farmer's house in Hangzhou incognito and asked for tea. He enjoyed the taste of Longjing in the West Lake, so he secretly grabbed a handful of tea in his hand when he left. Later, I went to a restaurant in the city for dinner, and asked the bartender to soak the West Lake Longjing he brought. At this time, the careful bartender accidentally saw the dragon-shaped pattern leaked from a corner of Ganlong's clothes, and immediately went to the kitchen to report to the boss. At this time, the boss who was cooking mistook the bartender's tea for chopped green onion and put it in the dish. Unexpectedly, Ganlong ate this Longjing shrimp and praised it. This dish has also become a particularly famous specialty in Hangzhou!

Let's talk about the specific methods of Longjing shrimp:

Ingredients: ten fresh shrimps, Longjing tea, starch, warm boiled water and yellow wine

1. Remove the shell of the soaked fresh prawns and remove the shrimp line;

Pay attention to the tail of the shrimp shell when removing the shrimp line. After picking it open, just gently pull it out. In order to make the dishes look better, the shrimp line must be cleaned!

2. Rinse the shrimps without shrimp lines with clean water until they turn white.

3. This step is to marinate the shrimps, which is very important and affects the taste of the whole dish. Crush the onion and ginger, pat out the juice, soak it in yellow wine, then stir the shrimps in yellow wine, add a little starch, and marinate them in a bowl for one hour.

4. Another key task is to soak Longjing. Don't use boiling water, because too hot water will deform the tea leaves and affect the appearance. Soak for one minute, and then leave some beautiful tea leaves and tea juice.

5. Stir-fry shrimps. When frying shrimps, don't use overheated oil temperature, otherwise it will affect the color of shrimps. Stir-fry until they are reddish.

6. Put the tea leaves in, then add a little yellow wine, stir fry gently and you can go out!

So a pot of delicious and beautiful Longjing shrimp is ready, isn't it very simple?
