EatingWell: Winner, winner, this is a great shrimp dinner! | Food and Cooking

In China, salt and pepper shrimp is traditionally made with tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorns. If you have some in the pantry, feel free of charge to use them here we opted for a combo of less difficult-to-come across white and black pepper. The white pepper adds earthy flavor, whilst black kicks up the heat.

• 1 pound shell-on deveined raw shrimp (36-40 for every pound)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 teaspoon floor black pepper
• 1 teaspoon floor white pepper
• 5 tablespoons canola oil, divided
• 1 pound snow peas
• 1 serrano or jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
• 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup h2o
• 1/2 cup chopped contemporary cilantro

1. Toss shrimp with cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon white pepper in a massive bowl.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a huge flat-bottom wok or forged-iron skillet over large warmth right until shimmering. Add 50 percent the shrimp and cook dinner, stirring from time to time, until finally crisp and pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Include the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/8 teaspoon salt.

3. Include snow peas, serrano (or jalapeno) and garlic to the pan and prepare dinner, stirring often, for 1 minute. Increase water, cover and cook dinner right up until the snow peas are just tender, about 2 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.

4. Serve the snow peas and shrimp topped with cilantro.
