Salt and Pepper Shrimp

These are one of my new favorites! It's delicious... great texture, amazing flavor and has a kick to it. We enjoyed every bite. It was surprisingly easier than I would have expected. I think this would be good as Calamari too (trying it soon). I recommend doing this ASAP!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs large Shrimp, deveined

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Vegetable Oil for frying

1/4 cup Cornstarch

1 inch Ginger, minced

6 cloves Garlic, minced

2-4 Green and Red Chili Peppers, thinly sliced

3 Green Onions, chopped

Instructions:

1. Rinse the shrimp and dry with paper towels. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Coat with starch, shaking off excess. You can do this with the shell on or off, I prefer shells on because they get extra crispy.

2. Heat oil over high heat. When the oil is ready, fry the shrimp until browned, about 1 minute on each side. Fry in batches, don't crowd the shrimp. Transfer to a plate.

3. Empty the wok or pan and wipe off any residue. Heat a little bit of oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the ginger and garlic quickly.

4. Add the peppers and char them a little bit.

5. Add the shrimp back in.

6. Add more salt and ground pepper, to taste and toss in the green onions. Serve immediately, it paired great with rice!
