    Spicy Stir Fry Shrimp

    Spicy stir fry shrimp (辣炒河虾)is a popular dish in Chinese Hunan cuisine. Basically, the shrimp used for stir-frying is river prawn. But my husband is allergy to river prawn. So I replace the small-sized shrimp.

    Although the making process is really simple but it really tastes out. If you love shrimp the same as me, then check shrimp dried pot and salted water boiled shrimp too.

    If you, the same as me, like spicy food and love to have some from time to time, use tabasco peppers. Spicier shrimp always gives a better taste. But do find a balance between taste and health. Besides peppers, I also add some chopped chives to add extra flavor. But do add them at the very last step and do not cook too long. I ruin this time because I am busy with finding a nice bowl.

    And Chinese people do not like to cut the heads or tails for stir-frying shrimp. Cutting them off is always caring.
