Steamed shrimp



I found this recipe at houseofannie after browsing for popiah, but this recipe really made my mouth watered instantly, I just have to try it...

Ingredients :
- 10-15 medium sized shrimps, head still intact, just cut off the long antenna to fit your dish
- 1 inch ginger, peel and finely julienne
- 4-5 clove of garlic, crushed using garlic press
- 2 Tbsp premium oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine
- black pepper
- 1 egg

How to make :
- Set the shrimp as above in a circle (pie) pyrex plate
- Sprinkle ginger and garlic
- Pour the oyster sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine and sprinkle black pepper to your taste
- Break the egg in the middle of the plate
- Steam the shrimp platter around 6-10 minutes, don't overcook as I did in below picture



Just as the shrimp turned to bright pink, the dish is done.
It's best when the egg is still medium, not as well done as what happened to my dish in the above picture, I'm thinking to add the egg after steaming for 3 minutes :) Will update again after I tried it this way.
