Fresh Shrimp with Soy Sauce, Roasted Green Onion Garlic Dipping
Fresh (never frozen) shrimp is delicious no matter how it's prepared. This particular recipe is a favourite of mine. I remember having it for the very first time on a family trip to Hong Kong. The freshness of the shrimp, combined with the salty, roasted garlic dipping sauce paired so well together, even as a picky child I patiently peeled each shrimp, carefully, finishing my meal and savouring every last bite!
