Instructions

1. Soak vermicelli in warm water 10 minutes. Drain and arrange on a plate. Arrange prawns on top, heads facing outward.
2. Make a shallow slit along the back of each prawn to remove the vein. Rinse under cold water.
3. Place ginger slices on and around the shrimp. Drizzle soy sauce over everything.
4. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Arrange on top of vermicelli, heads facing outward for presentation.
5. Steam over high heat for 5-6 minutes. Shrimp are done when they turn opaque pink.
6. Remove, discard ginger. Scatter scallion strips and drizzle 1 tbsp hot oil. Serve immediately.
