Directions
Ultra-crispy shell-on shrimp tossed with garlic, jalapeño, and Szechuan pepper—bold, spicy, and completely addictive with that signature crunch.
- 1.Prep the shrimp:
- 2.Rinse shrimp and pat completely dry. Using kitchen scissors, snip just behind the head and butterfly the shrimp along the back so they open up.
- 3.Season the shrimp:
- 4.Toss shrimp with salt and cracked black pepper, making sure each piece is well coated.
- 5.Dredge for crunch:
- 6.In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, peppercorns, garlic salt, and onion salt. Add shrimp and toss until fully coated.
- 7.Fry to perfection:
- 8.Heat oil for deep frying (350°F). Fry shrimp in batches for 4–5 minutes until golden, crispy, and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 9.Build the flavor base:
- 10.In a large pan or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add Szechuan peppercorns and stir briefly to release aroma.
- 11.Garlic explosion:
- 12.Add minced garlic and sauté until lightly golden and fragrant—do not burn.
- 13.Bring it together:
- 14.Add fried shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic and pepper oil. Add jalapeño slices and stir-fry briefly.
- 15.Add crunch & color:
- 16.Toss in broccoli slaw and mix quickly to keep texture fresh and vibrant.
- 17.Season finale:
- 18.Sprinkle finishing seasoning (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper) in three stages, tossing between each addition to evenly coat.
- 19.Serve:
- 20.Transfer immediately to a platter and serve hot while crispy.
