TOPIC: Shrimp - frozen vs. fresh

From: michelles3boys

On Monday, November 09, 2009

How do I buy the best tasting shrimp to prepare... quote

RECIPE: Hot and Sour Soup (Betty Foo; Hunan Restaurant)

Excellent soup. I made the full recipe but only used 1/2 t. each cayenne and white pepper. Wasn't sure this first time if it would be too spicy. It was perfect for us. Very filling. Served with Chinese Egg Rolls.
