Longjing shrimp is a famous Hangzhou dish with the most Hangzhou characteristics. Qingxin green tea is made together with fresh West Lake shrimp meat. The tender and fresh taste exudes the unique aroma of tea and the unique taste, which always makes people have a mellow aftertaste.
Historical allusions: One day, Qianlong visited privately in disguise and drank a cup of Longjing New Tea at a tea farmer's house in Hangzhou. He felt the fragrance and delicious. He secretly grabbed some tea leaves and left while others were unprepared. Later, I ate at a restaurant in the city and asked the shop staff to use this to make tea. The shop clerk saw a corner of the dragon robe worn inside Qianlong and hurriedly told the shop owner. The shop owner was cooking shrimps, and in a panic, he sprinkled the tea leaves in the shop clerk's hands into the pot as shredded green onions. I didn't expect this tea shrimp dish to be elegant in color and unique in taste. Qianlong nodded and praised it. Since then, this dish has become a famous dish in Hangzhou and has been passed down to the world.
