When the melon is ripe, there is a layer of white powder on the surface, which is like hoar frost in winter. For this reason, winter melon is also called white melon.

It can not only clear away heat and produce fluid, relieve heat and trouble, but also can diuresis and lose weight! The fresh and salty dried shrimps make this winter melon dish richer in taste.

Tips:
1. Cut the scallion into sections and then cut it in half to make it easier for the aroma to come out when the scallion is sautéed. If you find it troublesome, you can just saute the scallions directly;

2. After the scallion is cooked until slightly charred, remove the scallion and do not use it. If it is mixed in and stir-fried, it will easily produce a bitter taste, which will affect the taste;

3. Shrimp has a salty taste, so the amount of salt should be adjusted according to your own taste;

4. For those who like soft and bitter taste, the winter melon can be fried for a while. If you don't like too bad, you can shorten the stir-frying time.
