Shrimp and winter melon stew

Overview

This dish uses the current seasonal vegetable winter melon with fresh shrimps. Winter melon itself has no special taste. When stewed with shrimp, it can absorb the umami flavor of shrimp very well, making winter melon very delicious. Moreover, winter melon is very cheap now, it only costs 50 cents a pound here, and fresh shrimp is not expensive either. A dish for four people costs more than 20 yuan in total, which is also suitable for children. In this way, children who don’t like winter melon can eat vegetables happily. Message: I hope the children will become good children with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness!
