The meaning of drunken shrimp
As the name suggests, if live shrimps are put into wine, the shrimps will be drunk to death (should be said to be drunk) after a while. The eater can taste the fresh aroma of the shrimp and the aroma of the wine at the same time. Isn’t it great to kill two birds with one stone?
Drunken shrimp is a famous traditional Han dish in Shanghai and Ningbo. As the name suggests, live shrimps are put into wine, and the shrimps will be drunk after a while. Put the ice cubes into the glassware, then add the live shrimps, and finally pour the rice wine to completely soak the shrimps and close the lid. The eater can taste the fresh aroma of shrimp and the aroma of wine.
Take a big bowl and pour the fresh shrimps in. In fact, homemade seasoning has been added to this bowl. The ingredients are nothing more than chili pepper, wine, vinegar, garlic and other ingredients mixed together. In fact, they are all common things, and it is not very difficult to put together. After pouring the shrimp into the prepared sauce, cover the bowl with the shrimp with another bowl. You can still clearly hear the sound of the shrimp struggling in the bowl. The bowl kept ringing, and you can imagine how the shrimps jumped.
After a while, there was no sound in the bowl. When I took the bowl away, the shrimps were already drunk and appeared translucent. When you put the shrimp in your mouth, it feels very fragrant and the meat is very tender. The taste of shrimp cooked in this way is completely different from other methods of cooking shrimp. The wine and shrimp interpret a new delicious taste.
The hidden dangers of drunken shrimps
Although drunken shrimp is delicious, it is close to being eaten raw in terms of preparation, so it is easy for people to become infected with diseases due to parasites in the seafood itself. Of course, marine shrimps are relatively safer than freshwater shrimps and are less likely to carry parasites. But in fact, no matter what kind of shrimp, eating it raw may cause illness. Take liver flukes as an example. They are generally freshwater parasites, but there are also examples of liver flukes and other parasites being found in marine shrimps.
If a person eats seafood containing liver fluke metacercariae, the metacercariae will develop into adult worms in the human liver and bile ducts in about 1 months. People with mild infection may have no obvious symptoms, or may only have digestive tract symptoms such as loss of appetite, upper abdominal distension and abdominal pain after eating.
Severe patients with chronic repeated infections have significantly aggravated upper gastrointestinal symptoms, and may develop cirrhosis and portal hypertension, manifesting as hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, jaundice, anemia, weight loss, and edema. Pediatric patients may have significant growth and development disorders and even cause dwarfism. Liver fluke parasitism can also induce cholangiocarcinoma. It’s delicious, but health is more important! Please cook seafood as thoroughly as possible to avoid getting the disease from the mouth.
