Drunken Prawns is a dish often featured in Hong Kong restaurants. I have eaten some of the best drunken prawns in Singapore and they always have that slight hint of chinese wine. Often, it leaves your body full of vigour and robustness.

  Ingredients
 
  • 1.1 lb medium sized shrimps
  • 4 tablespoons Chinese Hua Tiow Wine OR 4 tablespoons Sherry
  Spices
  • Half teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices ginger, shredded finely
  • 600 ml ( 3 cups) water
 
  Directions
1 Bring the stock ingredients to a boil.
   
2 Bring the stock ingredients to a boil.
   
2 Meanwhile, wash the shrimps briefly. Do not deshell. Put them into a pot and pour in Chinese wine or Sherry. Cover pot with lid and with both hands, give it a few shakes to allow the shrimps to absorb the wine. Set aside for 5 minutes
   
3 When the stock is boiling, pour the drunken shrimps and wine into the stock. At this point, switch off cooker/ electric power. Cover and leave the prawns to cook for 5 minutes till the shells turn red.
