Spicy crayfish 麻辣小龙虾
Crayfish has taken China by a storm in the past decade or so.
过去十年小龙虾在中国非常流行。
Cities all over the country go gaga over the crustaceans, which are simmered in a broth with chili and abundant spices then served dry. From spring to early autumn, crayfish-night-outs have become a ritual for many. Groups of friends find a jam-packed stall, sit on tiny plastic stools and order a bucket or two of bright red crayfish.
全国大小城市的居民都对小龙虾趋之若鹜。小龙虾和辣椒及许多香料一起慢炖，然后捞出来上桌。从春天到初秋，夜宵吃小龙虾已经成为许多人日常生活中的一部分。三五好友找到一个拥挤的大排档，坐在小小的塑料凳子上，点一两盆鲜红的小龙虾。
