The Hungry Nobody score - 5/10
Shrimp are decently crispy and fresh tasting, light seasoning, but get rid of the dry peas please.

What I did like was the shrimp are the right size to just pop into your mouth and enjoy.  You can easily get into a routine, pop-munch-swallow-pop-munch-swallow.  Quite enjoyable.  I like to mix a bit of their black vinegar to go with it to liven up the flavor after a few without it.  The vinegar helps cut through some of the standard 'chicken broth+corn starch' coating, which you pretty much find with most places that make this dish.  Quite enjoyable.  Oh wait, I already said that.

What I didn’t like was that they throw in a bunch of mixed veggies to give the dish some life in terms of color and I guess, texture.  They certainly didn't do it for flavor or to enhance the enjoyment of the dish.  The peas in particular were dreadful, dry and crusty.  Nasty stuff.  Make sure you only eat the shrimp.
