Drunken shrimp, also known as drunken prawns,[1] is a popular dish in parts of China based on freshwater shrimp that are sometimes eaten cooked or raw. The shrimp are immersed in liquor to make consumption easier, thus the name "drunken". Different parts of China have different recipes for the dish. For example, the shrimp are sometimes soaked in alcohol and then cooked in boiling water rather than served live, and in other recipes cooked shrimp are marinated in alcohol after they are boiled.[2] [3] Another version is based on shrimp that are submerged in a bowl of rice wine. The rice wine forces the shrimp to expel their wastes; the shrimp are then eaten, generally after their movement has ceased.[4]
Consuming uncooked freshwater shrimps may be a serious health hazard due to the risk of paragonimiasis.[5] [6] [7]
