SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP RECIPES 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:

• Use kitchen shears to cut long whiskers and sharp head point off of the shrimp. Place cornstarch in a bowl. Roll in cornstarch to coat lightly and evenly, brushing off excess.
• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and saute until red and golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out skillet.
• Heat remaining peanut oil in the same skillet. Add garlic, onion, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add scallions, jalapeno, and coated shrimp. Cook and stir for 30 seconds while seasoning with most of the salt and pepper. Garnish with remaining salt and pepper before serving.
