IF THE SHRIMP ARE UNPEELED, peel them by removing their shell, legs

leaves in a heat-proof measuring cup and pour in the hot water. Let
the tea steep for 15 minutes. Heat a wok or large saute pan until it

cook for another minute. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a
serving platter and reduce any liquid in the wok by half. Pour this
over the shrimp and serve at once.
