【Yantai】Shredded Shrimp and Radish Soup

Overview

Radish is one of the most common ingredients in winter. There is an old saying that goes well: Eat carrots in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor’s prescription. Shrimp shredded radish soup is a nutritious dish. Due to its simple preparation, convenient ingredients, nutritious and delicious taste, it has become a popular local home-cooked dish. Some places use dried sea shrimp to make this dish which also tastes great. Fresh shrimp and local chicken soup bring an unusual taste to this dish: the shrimp are very tender, the shredded radish is soft and the soup is thick; the salty and sweet taste is delicious. The highlight of this dish is that the layer of red oil on the surface of the soup complements the green shredded radish, and the delicious taste brings a double enjoyment to the eyes and taste. Because the shredded radish absorbs the freshness of the shrimp and chicken soup, the soft, fresh and thick shredded radish is the essence of this dish. Wild prawns and fresh green fruit radishes are best used for this dish. Both are local specialties, and the quality and characteristics of what you eat should be maximized. Radish has the effects of digesting stagnation, eliminating flatulence, detoxifying and eliminating heat, laxative and stopping bleeding; while shrimp has high nutritional value and can enhance the body's immunity and sexual function, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, and resist premature aging. The radish absorbs the fishy smell of the shrimp, and the combination of the two is simply perfect.
