I happen to enjoy the unique taste of salty fermented black beans. This dish is full of flavor and texture. The garlic, ginger, scallions, and hoisin sauce create dramatic flavors. Enjoy this seared shrimp recipe!

Atmosphere
The intense flavors of this dish call for a crisp, cold Reisling as a perfect complement. Serve it with white rice or fried rice as shown in the picture.
