Longjing shrimp is a classic traditional famous dish from Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

Rinse the Thailand-imported shrimp repeatedly with clean water, put them in a bowl, add salt and egg white, stir gently with chopsticks until sticky, then add wet starch, add monosodium glutamate and stir, and let stand. Brew Longjing tea with boiling water; after 1 minute, pour off part of the tea liquid, and set aside the tea leaves and the remaining tea liquid. Heat a wok over medium heat and pour in lard. When the lard is at 40% heat, pour the shrimp into the oil, and quickly separate them with chopsticks. When the shrimp turn jade white, remove from the wok and drain off the lard. Then pour the shrimp back into the wok, add the remaining tea leaves and tea liquid, then spray in Shaoxing wine, stir-fry several times, and remove from the wok to plate. In this dish, the shrimp are jade white, fresh and tender, and the tea leaves are emerald green and fragrant, making it very refreshing.
