Stir-fried Shrimp
Ingredients: Shrimp, vinegar, soy sauce, scallions and ginger, white sugar, cooking wine, salt
Instructions:
1. Wash the shrimp and cut off their tails and antennae. It uses Yangtze river prawns, and there’s no need to open them up to remove the mud intestines. 　　2. Boil about 1 liter of water, add two teaspoons of salt. Once the water is boiling, add green onions and ginger, then put in the shrimp along with about 5 tablespoons of cooking wine.
3. After the water boils again, wait 2–3 minutes before removing the shrimp from the water.
4. To prepare the dipping sauce: chop two or three slices of ginger into small pieces, add them to a small bowl of vinegar, along with a little soy sauce and one spoonful of sugar.
5. You can adjust the flavor to your taste, but make sure to heat the vinegar in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving, so that it becomes slightly warm and emits an aromatic scent! Those without a microwave can heat it by steaming it over boiling water.

**Shrimp Fried in Bread Crumbs**
Ingredients: Shrimp (8), bread crumbs (a little), eggs (2), salt (a little)
Instructions:
1. Wash the shrimp, remove their shells and veins, and cut them in half along the back. Prepare all the shrimp in this way.
2. Beat the eggs with salt, and prepare the bread crumbs.
3. Coat the shrimp first with the egg mixture, then with the bread crumbs.
4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the shrimp until they turn yellow.
5. After frying, drain the oil and serve the shrimp on a plate.

**Spicy Salted Shrimp**
Ingredients: Shrimp (400 grams), cooking wine, **powder (as needed), garlic cloves (2), mixed spices (as needed), chili peppers (2), cornstarch (1 spoonful)
Instructions:
1. Wash the shrimp, cut off their antennae and veins, and marinate them in cooking wine and **powder for 10 minutes to remove any fishy smell.
2. Cut the chili peppers into rings, slice the garlic. Roast the Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant, then crush them using a rolling pin and mix them with salt to create the spice mixture! (You can also use a food processor to grind the Sichuan peppercorns.)
3. Rinse the marinated shrimp once more, then coat them with a spoonful of dry cornstarch.
4. Heat oil in a pan to 70% heat level, then fry the shrimp until they turn red. Remove them from the oil. Heat the oil again and fry the shrimp once more.
5. Drain most of the oil from the pan, leave just a little oil, and sauté the garlic cloves and chili peppers until fragrant. Add the fried shrimp and toss them around, then add the spice mixture and mix well before serving.

**Stewed Shrimp in Oil**
Ingredients: Prawns (8), ginger, garlic, green onions, sugar, ketchup (or tomatoes), soy sauce, cooking wine, salt
Instructions:
1. Clean the prawns, cutting off their antennae, claws, and mouths to make them look neater and easier to eat.
2. Cut open the prawns from the back all the way to the tail, and remove any black veins. The cut should not be right in the middle; it’s better to make it slightly off-center to avoid damaging the black line. 3. Clean it thoroughly and let it drain of excess water before use. Chop ginger and garlic finely (in a ratio of about 1:3); cut green onions into segments. 4. Add plenty of oil to the pan and heat it to about 60-70% temperature. Add the prawns and turn them quickly until they turn red and become crisp, then remove them from the pan. 5. Leave a little oil in the pan, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Over medium heat, add tomato paste (about 3 teaspoons), or chopped tomatoes without their skins (also about 3 teaspoons), and stir-fry until a reddish sauce is formed. 6. Add the prawns back to the pan, pour in a little cooking wine and light soy sauce (not dark soy sauce), and add about 3 teaspoons of sugar. Use a spoon to press on the prawns slightly to extract their juices. Stir well over high heat, then add about half a bowl of warm water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and simmer on low heat. 7. After about 1-2 minutes, remove the lid, add the green onion segments, season with salt, and continue to cook over high heat until the sauce thickens, becomes shiny, and darker in color – at that point, it’s ready to be served.
