Drunken shrimp

Method

1. 1 Choose live shrimp, wash them thoroughly, then soak them in Shaoxing wine with ginger for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. 2 This version involves steaming the shrimp completely instead of eating them raw in alcohol; alcohol doesn't kill parasites in freshwater shrimp, so steaming is essential.
3. 3 Simmer the infused liquor with cinnamon, star anise, goji berries, and sugar for 5 minutes to allow some of the alcohol to evaporate.
4. 4 Arrange the shrimp in a deep dish, pour in the rice wine, and steam over high heat for 6 minutes until the shrimp curl up and turn red.
5. 5 Sprinkle with chopped scallions and drizzle with a little soy sauce, then serve hot with the steaming wine broth.

With an appliance

• Microwave 22 min

  Replace step 4: loosely cover the plate of shrimp marinated in wine and microwave at 800 W for 4 minutes until the shrimp curl up and turn red; step 5 remains unchanged.
