– 50g lemongrass

– Horn chili

– ½ ginger bulb

– 1 lime

– Seasonings: bouillon, salt, cooking oil, pepper, MSG.

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

– Lemongrass: Clean, peel, slice moderately.

– Lime leaves: Wash thoroughly, thinly slice.

– Ginger: Clean, peel, slice thinly.

– Lime: Squeeze for juice.

Step 2: Marinate the Shrimp

Marinate shrimp with lemongrass, lime leaves, ginger for about 20 minutes.

Step 3: Steam the Shrimp

– Place the shrimp in a steaming pot with water, add white wine, mix well, and steam until cooked (about 15 minutes). Avoid overcooking to retain the sweet and rich flavor of the shrimp.

– When the shrimp turns a beautiful red color, it is cooked. Arrange the shrimp on a plate, sprinkle ginger, lime juice, and decorate with horn chili on the surface to make the dish more attractive.

Note: Avoid steaming the shrimp for too long as it may become tough and lose its sweet taste.
