In reply to Stephen Smith. Yes, when you split the shrimp along the back as described in the recipe, the vein becomes visible and can be removed at that stage. It’s optional though. If the shrimp are fresh and the vein is small, it’s fine to leave it in.

Hi,
Did you vien the shrimp first and how did you remove the stomach, before steaming ?

In reply to Mari. I suggest you have the vermicelli and shrimp prepared and arranged on the plate and have the sauce mixed in a bowl. When it's time to cook, pour the sauce over and steam.

This Looks amazing!
I was wondering, can I make this recipe all the way to the part where the garlic sauce is put on the shrimp, then refrigerate it-maybe an hour or so, until I’m ready to steam it?
If so, it would be great for a multicourse meal!

I made it! I only had 4 very large prawns and added enoki mushroom. My family said it was very very delicious! Thanks Wei.
