Drunken Shrimp
- 1 pound medium shrimp, preferably live
- 1 1/4 cups Mei Kuei Lu Chiew, dry Gewurztraminer, or gin
- If you are using live shrimp, run them under cold water to clean them thoroughly.
- In any case, leave the shells on.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl with 1 cup of the wine, cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Heat a wok or deep skillet over high heat, then add the remaining 1/4 cup wine.
- When the wine is almost boiling, carefully ignite it, then immediately add the shrimp with its marinade.
- (If you are not comfortable igniting the wine, bring it to a rolling boil.)
- Cook the shrimp, stirring, until they turn pink, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and serve
