1

Trim the long feelers and sharp tips from the shrimp. Slice half a lemon. Make three cuts on the surface of each red date. Cut the green part of the green onion into thin strips.
2

In a small pot, add the water, red dates, angelica root, and goji berries. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3

Once boiling, turn off the heat. Stir in the salt, sugar, and Shaoxing wine. Let cool and set aside.
4

In another pot, add about half a pot of water and the ginger slices. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add the lemon slices and shrimp.
5

When the shrimp curl into a 'U' shape, remove them from the pot.

Add ice and cold water to chill the shrimp briefly, then remove them.
