Spicy Pippi Shrimp
Whenever my friends come to my house for dinner, they always ask me to make this spicy mantis shrimp. It's so spicy that they stick out their tongue, and they never stop. They are afraid that others will eat it up if they are too late. The appearance of each meal is really not flattering.

My husband and I also love eating it. After eating a few, the hemp and spicy food began to shoot back, gathering it from the walls of the mouth to the tongue... I hurriedly took a sip of cold sour plum juice, which was refreshing and heart-piercing.

The scientific name of Piti Prawns is "Squatcha". It is commonly known as Piti Prawns, Shrimp Rakes, Shrimp Male Camel, Pipa Prawns, Mantis Prawns, and Piti Prawns. It is called 'Climbing Shrimp' in our Jiaodong area.
