Chilled shrimp
Cool shrimp is a kind of special dessert widely distributed in Yichang, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, because of the shape of the head and tail, similar to the shape of river shrimp, so it is named. The preparation method is similar to that of cold cake, which also uses rice flour, starch and waxy corn flour as raw materials, but in the final step, the lumps of rice milk are filtered into granules through a sieve and then cooled to form them. The cold shrimp is made of brown sugar water, and the cold shrimp grains are soaked in it, like a group of river shrimp gathered in it, and the appearance is gratifying. In terms of taste, the taste of cold shrimp is not as dense as that of cold cake, but it has a well-defined chewy feeling and a sweet taste.
