This is the season to entertain family and friends and when we do Chinese at home, salt and pepper shrimp dish is one of my favorite go-to entree which happens to be a party favorite all the time. As in all my dishes, I prefer dishes that are tasty, pretty and easy to make. I prefer to spend time doing other things. I love the flavor is lightly pan fried shrimp in shell and the taste of garlic, onion, ginger, salt and pepper. I usually have my guests licking their fingers.
Ingredients:
-shrimps with shell on, and deveined by cutting the back with a small pair of scissors (In here, I used 12 jumbo shrimps) Any type of shrimps are find as long as fresh
-2 large cloves of garlic, 2 stalks of green onion, and 2 quartz size slices of ginger
Finely mince green onion, garlic and gingers, and set aside
Dry shrimps with paper towel and coat with corn starch, shake off excess
-Pan fry shrimps with olive oil until gold brown on both side and remove from pan.
-Remove all the oil except about one tablespoon left.
-Add garlic and ginger and cook until light gold brown on medium fire. Over cooking will make garlic and ginger bitter, which is rather unpleasant.
-Add shrimps back to the pan, turn off fire and add green onion.
-Lightly sprinkle sea salt, black and white pepper over shrimps and toss. I like pepper flavors so I add lots.
What is your favorite shrimp dish to make at home??
*If you don't like shell on, it is okay to remove. Just leave tail on for pretty presentation.
So good. My dad used to make a similar dish. We all loved it. Total traditional Chinese cooking.
