Happiness in the Kitchen 116 - 厨房里的快乐 116 上海油爆虾

2016 的冬天，远在美国的Delaware 州也有了团购群，所以也可以吃到新鲜的游水虾，做了油爆虾，才尝到了鲜虾的原始鲜味及一点点的甜味！
原料：1LB新鲜-放入锅内还活蹦活跳的游水虾，葱姜酒少许，酱油两勺。
做法：
1．新鲜的活虾用水冲洗干净，用厨房纸巾吸干 （图1）;
2．用一勺的油将活虾干炒1-2分钟，看到虾略有红色，然后起锅，盛到一个大的盘子内，将其冷却五到10分钟；
3．在锅里倒入两勺油，将葱姜炒香后，再倒入刚刚炒红的虾后，倒上酒和酱油炒2分钟后盖1分钟加三勺水煮一分钟起锅。

Tips：1．洗净虾要吸干;
           2. 最关键是虾第一次只炒一－二分钟，看到虾变色就起锅。第二次重新入锅中加入调料     入味。
这样做出来的新鲜虾不仅美味好吃，而且虾皮和虾肉很容易分解! （图2）

I made a modification as follow, reduce the sugar in a half amount.

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (2 cups)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup + 1tablespoons granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces (6 tablespoons = 1+1/2 pc) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 & 1/3 cup heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter or rub in with your fingers, until mixture crumbs. Stir in cream until dough starts to come together, then stir in strawberry mixture.
Using  a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing evenly apart. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until golden brown, 24 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. Cookies are best served it immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
