For Your Bento! Lightly-Flavored Stewed Shrimp

• 10 to 12 Prawns (black tiger variety)
• 200 ml Japanese dashi stock
• 50 ml Sake
• 1/2 tbsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt

1. (The night before) Without peeling the shrimp, de-vein by pulling the vein through the sections of the shell, rinse, and pat dry.
2. Boil the ingredients in a pot, leaving on the shells, add the shrimp and simmer for 3 minutes, removing any scum that may rise to the surface (I used an 18 cm pot for 12 shrimp.)
3. Remove from heat, and let rest in the broth.
4. Once it has cooled down, chill in the refrigerator overnight.
5. (The following day) Remove the shells and legs from the shrimp, and pack into your bento.
