Boiled Mantis Shrimp
Tender mantis shrimp are boiled simply with aromatics and served with a savory dipping sauce.
Story
Fresh mantis shrimp take on a sweet, delicate flavor when poached in water infused with ginger, garlic, and dried chilies. The quick boil keeps the meat juicy and tender, perfect for dipping into a zesty sauce of soy, vinegar, and sesame oil.
