Salt & pepper Shrimp 🦐

Salt & Pepper Recipe 🦐

Ingredients:

Shrimp with head (I did 1.5lbs) clean with salt and water/ de vein

Cornstarch

Oil (to fry)

Bell peppers

White pepper (Chinese white pepper)

Sugar

Salt

Garlic (minced)

Shallot (minced)

optional (msg i like to sprinkle in)

Optional (some ground black pepper)

Detailed Steps:

1. Clean shrimp and pat down dry. In mixing bowl pour some cornstarch in. If you don’t have that flour or potato starch works too. Mix in and coat shrimp well.

2. Heat oil for frying. Make sure oil is hot enough to fry properly. each side should take 1-2 minutes and then take out to dry excess oil on paper towel. Make sure to tap shrimp off from excess starch before frying.

3. In a wok or frying pan use little oil from frying. Start stir frying the cut up bell peppers and cook until desire texture. If you like crunchy cook less and more soft cook more. Then in between I add my garlic and shallots and cook those as well just careful burning them. So don’t cook those too long. Add your shrimp in and then add a mixture of white pepper, sugar, salt and start stir frying. These I measure by eye in small bowl and pour on top of shrimp then mix while it’s cooking. Obviously, try to evenly portion out the seasonings or adjust to taste if you like sweeter add more sugar and so on. Once all mixed in it should be done and it’s good with steamed white rice.
