Biluochun Tea & Shelled Shrimps

The best shrimp for cooking this dish, namely the white-shelled shrimp, could be found near east part of Dongting Mountain. You have to squeeze out the meat from shrimps alive, put the meat together with the paste mixed with refined salt, egg white and dried starch in the cooked oil being boiled to medium rare again. When the meat turns totally white, you need to drain it of oil with a colander, stir-fry it again with high heat. Meanwhile, you add the water in which the Biluochun tea (about 5 grams) has been soaked before and msg to the pot, and continue to stir-fry it for a short while, then scoop it out and put it with the soaked sea around it together on the plate. In the sharp contrast between white meat and green tea, this dish is exquisitely-shaped, aromatic and fresh.
