Method

  1. 1 Steep Longjing tea leaves in 80-degree water for 3 minutes, then keep both the leaves and the tea water separate.
  2. 2 The water should not be boiling when brewing; boiling water will make the tea bitter and the whole dish taste unpleasant.
  3. 3 Peel the shrimp and marinate them with egg white, cornstarch, and salt for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Sauté the shrimp in warm oil at 60 degrees Celsius, not hot oil, to keep them white and translucent.
  5. 5 Pour in some tea and wine, then stir for 30 seconds.
  6. 6 Mix the brewed tea leaves in a separate pan; this dish is seasoned only with salt to preserve the tea's flavor.
