Salt And Pepper Shrimp Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Spicy salt and pepper shrimp make an excellent appetizer or main course. The deep-fried shrimp shells turn a wonderful orange color, while the spicy seasoning adds extra flavor. Leaving the shells on protects the shrimp meat inside, so it tastes very tender. Although this is a cantonese dish, it is sometimes made with szechuan salt and pepper mixfeel free to use this instead of the sea salt and ground pepper in the recipe if desired. (use 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons. )these shrimp are best served hot; enjoy them alone or with some steamed rice on the side.
