Longjing Shrimp, as the name suggests, is a shrimp cooked with the sprouts of Longjing tea. It is a famous dish with local characteristics in Hangzhou. The shrimps are white, fresh and tender; the buds and leaves are green, fragrant, elegant in color, and have a unique taste. After eating, they are clear and appetizing. The aftertaste is endless. It is a must in Hangzhou cuisine. The authentic Longjing prawns are made of fresh river prawns before and after the Qingming Festival. At that time, the river prawns were big and delicious. However, the river prawns at this time have passed the season, you can also use fresh prawns instead, the taste is equally good.
