Settings: 1/50 ƒ/1.8 ISO 400 50 mm

Sweet and sour shrimp was one of my fave dish when i was a kid. extremely easy and quick to make and kids love it!

Ingredients:

shrimp – prefer fresh shrimps with heads.
ginger
scallions
cooking wine, starch, dark vinegar, salt (pic below)
sugar
sesame oil and soy sauce (2nd pic below)

i dug out a bag of frozen shrimps, so i am just gonna use these today. the dish would taste SO MUCH better if you use fresh whole shrimps! if you use the frozen shrimps, make sure you get rid of all the water after they defrost.

1. chop up ginger and scallions

2. make the sauce. mix vinegar, sugar, salt, and a little bit cooking wine and water in a cup. taste it. add more vinegar if you like more sour, or more sugar if you like sweeter.
