SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP



Salt and Pepper Shrimp image

This is the classic Cantonese shrimp dish with the heads and peels left on. The shrimp are usually eaten whole, but I know this is scary for some. The recipe is traditional, but you can peel and clean the shrimp if you prefer. I think that when fried, the skins and heads taste like tempura and hold the seasonings perfectly. You can choose your own adventure here, but I do hope you try this dish as it was meant to be eaten.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (30 grams) chicken bouillon powder
1 teaspoon (5 grams) sugar
1/2 teaspoon (5 grams) white pepper
1 1/2 pounds (600 grams) large shrimp, unpeeled
2 quarts (1.8 liters) vegetable oil for deep frying, plus 2 tablespoons for stir-frying
1 cup (240 grams) cornstarch
2 tablespoons (30 grams) garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon (10 grams) ginger, minced
1 red jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced with seeds
2 tablespoons (60 grams) scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, bouillon powder, sugar and white pepper and reserve.
  • Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then drain them quickly in a colander. Leave them moist to absorb the cornstarch to make a crust.
  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches about 375 degrees F. Add the cornstarch to a large bowl, dredge the shrimp in cornstarch and then shake off the excess. Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes in three small batches. Drain on a sheet pan as you are heating your skillet or wok.
  • While the shrimp are cooking, heat a large skillet or wok to high and spoon in 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, stir in the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and cook for about 30 seconds until light brown.
  • Toss in the fried shrimp, reserved sugar-and-salt mixture and scallions. Continually toss the shrimp to coat well, 1 to 2 minutes. Once the shrimp are heated through, plate the shrimp and top with crispy bits from the pan.

CRISPY SALT-AND-PEPPER SHRIMP



Crispy Salt-and-Pepper Shrimp image

If you love Szechuan food, this quick shrimp dish is for you. Toasting salt and peppercorns in a dry pan wakes up their flavors, and shallow-frying the spice-and-cornstarch-coated shrimp turns the shells so light and crispy, you can eat these beauties whole. Note: Cutting slits in the shells for deveining brings an added bonus: The ginger-and-allium-infused oil seeps into the dish for extra kapow.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon white peppercorns
1 tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns
2 teaspoons coarse pink or sea salt
2 pounds jumbo head-on, shell-on shrimp, deveined and patted dry
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup julienned fresh ginger (from a peeled 1 1/2-inch piece)
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Toast both types of peppercorns and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and coarsely grind. Toss shrimp with spice mixture to evenly coat, then thoroughly coat in cornstarch.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add ginger, garlic, and scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and beginning to turn golden in places, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving oil in skillet. Add shrimp to skillet in a single layer (you may need to work in two batches); cook, flipping once, until they turn opaque and shells become crisp and golden brown in places, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to bowl with ginger mixture, tossing to evenly coat; serve immediately.
