But for ordinary diners, they often pay attention to the taste, for the other three points but know very little, Xiaobian through interviews with a large number of chefs and diners, for the auspicious shrimp have some understanding, recorded below, I hope to give friends who like food a certain help.
In ancient times, various natural and man-made disasters followed, but the Fujian area was not affected by the war due to its geographical advantages, so there was a family surnamed Ji and a family surnamed Li who fled to the Xiamen area of Fujian to help each other and tide over the difficulties together. The Ji family has a boy, while the Li family has only one girl, and when they work together, they develop great love for each other. Later, with the consent of both parents, they decided to hold a big wedding.
On top of the wedding feast, of course, the dishes are indispensable, so the newlyweds have different requirements for the spoon master, they ask the spoon master to cook a delicious dish based on a common experience of the two of them, the experience is like this: once, they went to the coast to fish, and suddenly a pair of fresh shrimp jumped on the beach. They believe that it is a symbol of love. To commemorate this moment, they decided to cook a dish about shrimp at the wedding feast, and this dish must be unique and distinctive.
The master of the spoon used some of the preparation methods of Fujian cuisine at that time, and added a large amount of orange juice and chestnuts, and painstakingly cooked a shrimp, which the Jili family ate. They all tasted delicious. It tastes great. Later, in order to commemorate their love, this dish was named Jili shrimp. Once launched, the neighbors feel very liked, coupled with the fact that there are many shrimp creatures in the coastal area of Fujian, so it is very convenient to take materials. Therefore, this auspicious shrimp slowly spread, and it is still enduring until now. It's welcome.
With the continuous development of the times, the technology of cultivating shrimp is becoming more and more mature day by day, and shrimp meat has become more fragrant. This auspicious shrimp has gradually become an excellent representative of Fujian cuisine, and some well-known Fujian restaurants in the country have once used auspicious shrimp as a signature dish. Some people now refine the recipe of Gili shrimp to cook it as a fast food product. Make the audience of this food more extensive.
After all, because of the fast-paced work life now, many people don't have time to cook and go to restaurants. And some of the shops featuring auspicious shrimp, in the country can be said to be blossoming everywhere, in Xining, Changchun, Kunming, Chengdu and other places, there are such as the Ganges Sand number of Fujian restaurants, each business is very good, such as in Changchun City to open Fujian restaurant Mr. Liu, the best at cooking is this auspicious shrimp.
There are thousands of pieces of running water every day. It can be said that the current Auspicious shrimp is already a new way to make a fortune. Not only that, some very business-minded people have given the auspicious shrimp the meaning of peace and auspiciousness, so in some large-scale red and white celebrations, the figure of the auspicious shrimp can often be seen. There are many diners who taste this dish.

It is welcomed by the majority of nutrition experts.
What is hidden behind the auspicious shrimp is not simply the delicacy that the gourmets flock to, but also contains cultural heritage. A plate of auspicious shrimp was placed in front of our eyes, and we admired him, as if returning to a remote place in Fujian many years ago, two newcomers, two families fleeing the flames of war, with the expectation of peace, held a grand wedding. And the auspicious shrimp on the plate, golden and seductive, seems to be a harbinger of the good years ahead. Xiaobian thinks that this is the beauty of Chinese cuisine, the history is very long, and each dish has a moving and tortuous story. After knowing the story, then taste the food, don't let the taste linger on your mind.
Fujian cuisine has also gradually changed from a small local dish to a well-known cuisine throughout the country. And Jili shrimp has also become a bright pearl in the crown of Chinese cuisine, with the passage of time, I think that sooner or later, Fujian cuisine will rush out of China and face the world, I look forward to the arrival of the day.
