Steamed Drunken Prawns
Get this recipe on the next page >>
Steamed Drunken prawns (醉虾) is a dish which is unbelievably cheap and easy to prepare at home, but if you were to order it at the restaurant, be prepared to pay many, many times more than it would cost you to prepare it at home. Seafood is always so expensive when it is ordered outside.

This recipe uses live prawns, but don’t flame me, this is usually how the dish is prepared in Chinese restaurants. That’s why they have tanks of live seafood (fish, lobster, prawns). You can always substitute with non-live prawns if you are not comfortable with using live prawns. I bought live prawns from Farmart, but you can easily find them at selected Shing Sheong or NTUC supermarkets :)

Whoa! These look really scrumptious! I cant eat them though bcos of my allergy to prawns, do u there’s a suitable substitute for these prawns?
make “drunken” chicken? steam chicken fillet (NOT live chicken please!) with some chinese wine heheh
Western people think this is cruel but I like this a lot, wish I could buy live seafood here in Switzerland. You are right this is very expensive to eat in the resto.
This is soooo good with live prawns!
敬酒? Need to say “Yum Seng” to the prawns or not? No, I am not being cruel.
hehe … saying yum seng will be too dramatic ;)
ahh a perfect way to enjoy those fresh prawns! I wish I can get such fresh prawns here.
You said 2 magical words cheap and easy much better if it is a visual and yummy feast! :up:
