Gili shrimp
By BrisaRussel
Gilly shrimp--is a simple delicacy with beautiful appearance, bright color, crispy outside and tender inside. Moreover, there is a moving legend about its origin: Long ago, two families came to Dalao on the Xiamen coast to settle down because of fleeing the war chaos. These two families have the surname "Ji" and the surname "Li". One has a boy and the other has a girl. They have only a man and only a woman. They have frequent exchanges. When they are young and reaching adulthood, they have vowed to become a couple. Before the wedding reception, when the bride and groom thought that they were in love, they had each pounced on a jumping prawn on the beach. At that time, they used this as a metaphor to pray for pairs and never separated. In order to commemorate this situation, the chef is specially asked to cook a dish with shrimp as the main ingredient. The chef appreciated the meaning and used the names of the two families to prepare a pun: "Gilly Shrimp". Everyone tasted it and all praised it, so this dish spread widely and it is still a famous dish in Xiamen to this day.
