[Chaoshan Shrimp Dates], shrimp dates made with shrimp as the main ingredient, are golden in color, delicious in taste, crispy in the mouth, and you can chew the shrimps every now and then, which is very elastic. I went to my husband's house for the New Year for the first time and fell in love with it as soon as I ate it. It’s just that this dish is relatively complicated to make, and I usually don’t make it. It can only satisfy my craving during the Chinese New Year. And we don’t celebrate the Chinese New Year at my husband’s house every year, so I have only eaten it 2 or 3 times in the past five years. The leader said that in his memory, this shrimp-jujube dish was only made at home during the New Year or some major festivals, or for the elderly to celebrate their birthdays. It is truly a traditional dish that must be learned. Although nowadays, almost all places making Chaoshan cuisine, ranging from restaurants to roadside stalls, serve Chaoshan Shrimp and Dates, although the cooking methods are similar. But so far, I have never tasted anything in any of these restaurants that can match the taste and texture of the food made by my husband's family. Moreover, these shrimps and dates are all round, which is very suitable for eating during the Chinese New Year, as they have the meaning of reunion. The whole family gets together, makes things by themselves, and enjoys family reunion and fun.
