SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP

Salt & Pepper Shrimp is one of those dishes that we always order at a Chinese restaurant and I’m excited to show how easy it is to make right at home! This recipe is made with minimal ingredients, lightly coated shrimp that’s pan fried until crispy and it’s so delicious served over rice!

Salt & Pepper Shrimp

Ingredients
2 lbs shrimp, peeled or unpeeled
1/2 cup cornstarch
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
2 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and sliced
Salt and fresh cracked pepper
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons oil

Directions
Season shrimp, lightly with salt and pepper, and combine with cornstarch.
Heat about 1/3 cup of oil in the pan over medium high heat and cook shrimp in 2 batches, about 1-1/2 minutes per side. For the second batch and a couple more tablespoons of oil if needed. After the shrimp is through cooking, set them aside and leave a little bit of oil in the pan.
Add Jalepenos, garlic and the white parts of green onions. Season with salt and cook for 1-1 1/2 minutes (this is really delicious over rice).
Remove remove from heat and stir and shrimp and green parts of the green onions. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
