Shrimp in Black Bean Sauce

Salty fermented beans and shrimp wins the day! Served with steamed rice, it’s the ultimate comfort food, especially if you are living on the streets. A good samaritan who gives out small batches of hot food is not doing much to change the societal structures that throw people out of their homes, but it’s something.
