But when the dishes arrived, they realized that each dish here was more ingenious than the last. In the Yanjing dialect, it was authentic, extremely authentic!
「In the kitchen.」
After preparing the dishes to be served, Lin Xu brought over the small green shrimp for the Fried Shrimp.
Fried Shrimp is a dish found throughout the Yangtze River Delta region, using readily available small river shrimp or small green shrimp from the area.
Because these shrimp are tender and properly prepared, there is no need to spit out the shell when eating them. The crispy shell is even more flavorful than the shrimp meat itself.
This dish has two methods of preparation: home-style and restaurant-style.
Home stoves have less firepower, so the oil heats up slowly. To achieve crispy shells and tender meat, it is necessary to flash-fry the shrimp twice at high temperatures, each time for a very short duration, allowing the hot oil to affect only the surface of the shells.
