There's at least one restaurant in San Francisco Chinatown that sells _live_ drunken shrimp. Yes, they're still moving, if only sporadically. It's a fun dish, but uncooked shrimp are pretty tasteless, and the rice wine doesn't help much.

Which place is this? I kind of want to try now.

Great Eastern on Jackson St. I don't know if you can order straight off the menu or if you need to clarify you want the live dish.

The first time we ordered it the shrimp weren't moving for several minutes, so we felt deflated and resigned to eating unexciting raw shrimp. Someone picked one up to eat it and let out a shriek when it jumped.

Thanks will give it a try!
