Drunk Prawns


The Shanghai special dish - “Drunk Prawns”.

The chef takes a glass bowl, half fills it with a dark red wine sauce. Lots of live prawns are then put in and a lid put on. The prawns start off splashing around but then get gradually more and more drunk so become sedated. At this point the lid is taken off and you can dives in with chopsticks and eats them all whole (spitting out any bits of shell if you don’t want to eat). Naturally once the prawns feel you grabbing them, they start to wiggle around!!
