I think I'm going to start with the prawns first.
我想我要先燒大蝦
Next, I'm making one of my grandmother's signature dishes - drunken prawns.
接下去，我要做我奶奶的拿手好菜之一，醉蝦
Get the wok nice and hot, add the prawns, a little ginger
先把鍋加熱，倒入蝦，放點姜
and a good splash of rice wine to get the shellfish nice and tipsy.
再放一點黃酒給蝦增色提味
My grandmother used to make drunken prawns for us when we were growing up, really tasty.
從小到大我們經常吃奶奶做的醉蝦，那真是人間美味
So, like, the bitter sweetness of the Shaoxing rice wine kind of enhances the sweetness of the prawns,
紹興黃酒本身的苦甜味有助于增加大蝦的甘甜口感
and these are just local river prawns.
這些是本地的河蝦
Really good.

My grandmother's speciality was seafood,

Once the food's ready, it's time to seat the guest of honour - my grandfather.
