Zhejiang cuisine Longjing shrimp

Introduction:

"This is a traditional famous dish reflecting the beautiful temperament of the West Lake, with strong local color. This dish is elegant in color, fresh and tender in taste, and unique in flavor! Legend has it that the shrimp in Longjing is related to Emperor Qianlong. Qianlong once traveled to Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. He was dressed in casual clothes and toured the West Lake. It was Tomb Sweeping Day. When he came to Longjing tea Town, it suddenly rained heavily. He had to take shelter from the rain at a village girl's house nearby. The village girl was hospitable and let him make tea. The tea was brewed with newly picked Longjing tea and charcoal fired spring tea. Qianlong was overjoyed to drink such delicious tea, so he wanted to take some back to taste it. But it was not easy to open his mouth, and he didn't want to reveal his identity. So he took advantage of the village girl's inattention and took a handful of it and hid it in the Dragon Robe in his casual clothes. After the rain, I bid farewell to the village girl and went on sightseeing until sunset. I was thirsty and hungry. I took a seat in a small wine shop by the West Lake and ordered several dishes, one of which was fried shrimp. After ordering, he suddenly remembered the Longjing tea he had brought and wanted to soak it to quench his thirst. So he called the waiter and picked up his casual clothes to get tea. When he picked up the tea, he was startled to see Qianlong's Dragon Robe and ran into the kitchen to tell the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was frying shrimps. When he heard that the emperor had arrived, he was so frightened that he made a mistake in his work that he sprinkled the Longjing tea which he brought in as scallion in the fried shrimps. However, when the dish was brought to Qianlong's face, it was fragrant and delicious. After a taste, it was fresh and delicious. When you look at the dish again, you can see that Longjing is green and the shrimp is white and crystal clear. You can't help praising it repeatedly, "good dish! Good food! "
