SPICY SALT AND PEPPER PRAWNS (SHRIMP)
(Not PF Chang's)
9 to 10 1/2 oz raw prawns (shrimp) in their shells, defrosted if frozen**
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
2 tsp cornstarch
Spicy Salt and Pepper (recipe follows)
vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
2 to 3 green onions (for garnish)
TO PREPARE THE SHRIMP:
Pull the soft legs off the shrimp, but keep the body shell on. Dry well on paper towels. Place the shrimp in a bowl with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry and cornstarch. Turn the shrimp to coat thoroughly in the mixture and leave to marinate for about 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the Spicy Salt and Pepper.
WHEN READY TO COOK:
Heat the vegetable oil in a preheated wok or large frying pan until smoking, then deep-fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown. Remove the shrimp from the wok with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Place the green onions in a bowl, pour on 1 tablespoon of the hot oil and leave for 30 seconds.
TO SERVE:
Serve shrimp garnished with the green onions, and with the Spicy Salt and Pepper as a dip.
SPICY SALT AND PEPPER
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp ground Szechuan peppercorns
1 tsp five-spice powder
"The roasted spice mixture made with Szechuan peppercorns is used throughout China as a dip for deep-fried food. The peppercorns are sometimes roasted first and then ground. Dry-frying is a way of releasing the flavors of the spices."
Mix the salt, ground Szechuan peppercorns and five-spice powder together. Place in a dry frying pan and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes over a low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the spices burning on the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
**For best results, use raw tiger shrimp in their shells. They are 3 to 4 inches long, and you should get 18 to 20 per 1 lb.
