【Chaoshan Shrimp Date】, shrimp dates made with shrimp as the main ingredient are golden in color and delicious in taste. The mouth is crispy, and you can chew the shrimps from time to time. They are very elastic. I went to my in-law’s house for the first time that year, and fell in love with it as soon as I ate it. It’s just that this dish is relatively cumbersome to make. I usually don’t make it. It’s only during the New Year to relieve our greed. And we don’t spend the New Year at my husband’s house every year, so I have eaten it two or three times in the past five years. The leader said that in his memory, this prawn date is also for Chinese New Year or some major festivals, and it is only made at home for the elderly over their birthdays. It's really a traditional dish and must be learned.

Although the places where Chaoshan cuisine is made nowadays, from restaurants to roadside stalls, almost all have the [Chaoshan Shrimp and Dates], although the methods are similar. But so far, I have never tasted in any of these stores that can compare to my in-law’s. Moreover, these shrimp dates are round one by one, which is very suitable to eat during the New Year, which has the meaning of "reunion and roundness". The whole family gathers together, do it yourself, family reunion, enjoyable. "
