Yixing has many famous local dishes, which often leave a deep impression on people and are praised. Yixing local dishes are related to local characteristics and seasons. Yixing is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River on the coast of Taihu Lake, with mountains and water. There are four distinct seasons in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yixing people pay attention to what to eat in what season.

Everyone knows "Three Whites in Taihu Lake", delicious food in the lake, whitebait, "white stripes" and white shrimp. The key to eating is "white". If the white shrimp is burnt into "red shrimp", it is not the white shrimp in Taihu Lake. That's what's strange.

And "green tea shrimp". This should use Yixing river shrimp and Yixing super-fried green tea. Squeeze the shrimps out first and wash them with bamboo chopsticks in cold water. Gracefully, you can't wash it by hand. If your hands are hot, the shrimp will not be fresh after heating. Green tea is brewed before use. After the shrimps are cooked in the oil pan, pour the tea into the pan and stir-fry slightly. Add seasoning, then pour in shrimp. Tea shrimp, "clear and white", has a pleasant smell of tea. Shrimp and tea, in one go.
