To start, prepare the ingredients by slicing the ginger and cutting the green onions. For the shrimp, remove the head and back vein, and wash it with white wine and water to remove any dirt or fishy smell. You can find a detailed guide on how to prepare shrimp here.

Next, place the sliced ginger and green onions in a pot. Add the shrimp on top and sprinkle whole peppercorns. Pour white wine into the pot and cover it. Steam the shrimp for about 5 minutes over medium heat.

Once the shrimp turns pink and is fully cooked, reduce the heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate. Your boiled shrimp is now ready to be enjoyed.

Boiling shrimp without water results in crispy, fragrant, and sweeter meat, with the spiciness from the peppercorns and ginger. Give this method a try the next time you boil shrimp to experience a different and delicious flavor.

Note: To ensure the best taste, it is important to use fresh shrimp. Look for shrimp with a slightly curved body, firm flesh, and shiny, smooth shells. The head and tail should be tightly attached to the shrimp body, and there should be no liquid coming out when gently squeezed.

We hope you find this method helpful in enhancing the flavor of your boiled shrimp. Enjoy!
