Last week, after unboxing Chef Ajing's drunken shrimp, my mom couldn't stop thinking about it and really wanted to have it again. So this week, I decided to make this flavorful Shaoxing drunken shrimp for her myself!
Drunken shrimp is actually very easy to make. The key is the perfect ratio of Shaoxing wine, rice wine, and the herbal spice pack, along with fresh white shrimp. As long as you control the blanching time so the shrimp doesn't get overcooked, it will turn out delicious after soaking.
Here's how to make it—hope you find it helpful!
