Drunken prawns (Zui xia)

(Drunken prawns, Drunken shrimps, 醉虾)

Drunken prawn is a Chinese dish that is somewhat unorthodox because the prawns are eaten while still alive. The method of preparing is quite simple and quick - prawns are shortly submerged in alcohol, preferably in strong Chinese rice wine, and as soon as the effects of alcohol have taken place and the prawns have relaxed, they are eaten.


There are some variations of this dish where the prawns are boiled, either before or after marinating them in alcohol.
