Prepare the shrimp: Gently rinse the live shrimp under cold running water. If using ice cubes, place them in a large, deep bowl and add the shrimp on top to keep them cool and less active. Ensure the shrimp are still lively.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Add aromatics: Bruise the ginger slices slightly by pressing them with the side of a knife to release their aroma. Add the bruised ginger slices and the cut scallion sections to the bowl with the shrimp.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Marinate: Pour the Shaoxing wine over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully submerged. The wine should cover the shrimp. If not, add a little more wine. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Serve: The shrimp will turn pinkish and opaque as the alcohol 'cooks' them. Serve immediately. Arrange the shrimp in a serving dish, discarding the ginger and scallions. Provide a small dish of soy sauce for dipping.
