Soak the tea leaves in boiling water. Be sure to soak until the leaves of the tea leaves are opened. Then pick up the tea leaves to drain the water. You can spread the tea leaves on kitchen paper to absorb the water;

Pour out the oil from the pot, then pour the shrimp into the pot, add salt and stir-fry evenly;

Finally, pour in the tea leaves and stir-fry for half a minute; ummm, it’s really fragrant ~ quickly clean your hands, don’t even let go of your fingers~ Tea shrimp cooking tips

The tea chosen for the authentic tea shrimp is Tieguanyin. Because Tieguanyin has a strong flavor and I don’t have Tieguanyin at home, I use my own white tea instead.
