Winter melon, shaped like a pillow, also known as pillow melon, is abundant in summer. Why are melons produced in summer named winter melons? Because when the melon is ripe, there is a layer of white powdery substance on the surface, just like the white frost formed in winter. This is also the reason why winter melon is also called white melon. Winter melon contains high levels of nutrients such as vitamin C, with a cold nature and a sweet taste. It can not only clear heat and produce fluids, relieve heat and irritability, but also promote diuresis and weight loss! The freshness and saltiness of shrimp make this winter melon dish more rich in taste. First, stir fry the scallions slowly over low heat to release their fragrance, then make scallion oil. The shrimp and scallion oil are then fired to make the winter melon taste less bland, but without claiming dominance. For those who love winter melon, what are they waiting for? Hurry up and get it done
