Overview
After watching this fried river shrimp dish introduced in A Bite of China 2, my mouth watered. I bought it myself in the evening and made it according to the recipe, and my craving was finally satisfied. Ha. The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed by rivers, and there are shrimps all year round. Especially at the turn of spring and summer, river shrimps are abundant and delicious. The local area is known as wheat yellow and shrimps in abundance. In late spring and early summer, shrimp bodies are richest in amino acids and have the best taste, and the shrimp brains are plump at that time. Shrimp brains are commonly known as pomegranate seeds, which are delicious and plump. Female shrimps with scallops have fresh shrimp roe. River shrimp has high nutritional value and is rich in protein, phosphorus, calcium, etc. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, nourishing the kidneys, strengthening sperm, and strengthening the brain. Fried river prawns are most distinctively cooked at Lao Zhengxing Restaurant at the intersection of Shandong Middle Road and Nanjing East Road in Shanghai. When the dish is ready, the river shrimp will be roughly round, red and shiny, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and sweet, and the shell and meat will separate in the mouth. After eating the shrimp, no marinade will be left on the plate. Fried river shrimp is one of the representative varieties of Shanghai's famous dishes and has a long history.
