RSSFood Porn: Aromatic and Spicy Crawfish in Shanghai (上海香辣小龙虾)
 I have blogged about this here and here before, but xiao long xia/小龙虾 or crawfish is something I've never missed out whenever I visit China. I usually get my fix of crawfish in Beijing, but I have to say that these spicy and aromatic crawfish (香辣小龙虾) I had in Shanghai--cooked without huajiao/花椒 or Sichuan peppercorns--are no less incendiary and addictive compared with their Beijing's version.One kilogram of these babies cost RMB24 or US$3.00+...(more picture after the jump)  Spicy and aromatic with garlicy flavors, I couldn't get enough of them and wanted more!Would you eat these fiesty looking crawfish?

Absolutely. What's not to like - spicy, garlic, crawfish & best of all - only US$3 a kilo ? I would be all over them if I were to find any in France.
.

.

I don't think I know where to get crawfish (not available here), but I love them. Your picture is gorgeous!
.
wat??? thats dirt cheap..me want to go shanghai too...
.
We visited some old family friends in New England that made yuck faces when they learned we ate crawfish. We'd just eaten crab with the people making the yuck faces!
DUH! Crawfish are "freshwater mini-lobsters"!

It's 'hua' jiao (hua=flower). We used to eat this dish way back when in Chengdu. Goes great with beer! And to answer your last question - if it's got huajiao in it, I'll eat it. :-)
Say hi to Shanghai for us, esp. if you find yourself in our old neighborhood (French Concession, Yueyang Lu)/Fuxing Lu).
.
I would eat these till I was sick, and then eat some more. They look awesome.
Talk about an amazing price too! That just ain't fair.
.
Sichuan peppercorns, huh? Sounds spicy all right.
How does it compare with the Vietnamese / Cajun-style crawfish now so popular down in OC?
.
Spicy... check.. Garlic.. check.. Aromatics.. check.. Crustaceans.. Check! Yep, sounds about perfect to me! :)
.
What $3.00??? That is crazy cheap! It'll cost so much here in the US! My, you're lucky!
.
that is cheap! and spicy garlic? lovely with seafood!!
.
$3++ for a kg? That's real cheap. The look of the crawfish is very tempting indeed.
