HOW TO COOK SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP RECIPES

Steps:

• Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Add the shrimp to a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and let sit until thawed, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the thawed shrimp on paper towels and pat dry.
• Place the cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss until well-coated.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large pan until it reaches 400°F (200°C).
• Add the garlic and fry for 40 seconds-1 minute, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a strainer or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Fry the shrimp, about 6 at a time, for 2 minutes, or until light golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
• In a clean wok or large pan, add the ginger and red pepper flakes and toast for 2 minutes, until the ginger is starting to brown.
• Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Season with the salt and pepper and toss until well-coated.
• Transfer the shrimp to a plate and garnish with the scallions and fried garlic.
• Serve with rice.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Using kitchen shears, cut along the backs of shrimp through shells and just deep enough to expose veins; remove veins. Pat shrimp dry. Whisk cornstarch, black pepper, and ¾ teaspoons salt in a large bowl; add shrimp and toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, fry shrimp until golden, crisp, and cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to paper towels and let drain, then toss in a medium bowl with Sichuan peppercorns and remaining ¾ teaspoons salt. Add chile and cilantro to bowl and toss to combine.
