Additional

This dish's inspiration comes from a famous 'drunken shrimp' dish in China, traditionally prepared with Shaoxing wine. Feel free to amp up the heat with extra chili flakes or bring down to accommodate your palate. You could also play with other herbs like coriander or basil for new taste profiles. Kids can help in juice-out the lime, but be careful while dealing with chili flakes.
