Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Shrimp works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce.

Tom Eddy Tenz-Sauvignon Blanc

Hints of classic Marlborough Sauvignon herbal qualities complement other complex characteristics of grapefruit, white pear, green grass, and gooseberry. The wine's intense aromatics are reinforced on the palate with a subtle minerality and mouth-watering acidity. The concentrated finish is crisp, clean and long-lasting. The wine's tasting profile matches perfectly with a variety of foods (like fresh oysters!) but is easily enjoyed by itself on a hot summer day. Cheers!

Instructions

  1. First, wash the rice accordingly and soak for at least 30 minutes - this step is to ensure a smoother consistency for the congee.
  2. Meanwhile, marinate the prawns.
  3. Boil the soaked rice together with the water/broth and unchopped ginger in a large pot, once brought to a boil, turn the heat lower to medium low and let boil until it reaches congee consistency. There is really no hard and fast rule for the consistency of the congee, it really depends on personal preferences, add more or less rice according to desire.
  4. Once you have achieved the consistency you desire, drop the marinated prawns in and watch closely.
  5. I only boiled the prawns for about 2-3 minutes to ensure that they didn't get overcooked - remember that the prawns will continue to 'cook' in the hot congee even after the heat is turned off.
  6. Ladle into individual bowls, and add as much green onions, ginger as you like - add dashes of soy, sesame oil and white pepper to your liking. Congee to me is best served piping, tongue-burningly hot!
