I love Salt & Pepper Squid and have never been able to find Szechuan peppercorns, which are necessary to make it, here in the town I live in. My husband got me some Penzey's Spices for my birthday and one of them was the coveted Szechuan Salt & Pepper blend. Read more ..I was so excited to try it out and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much I enjoyed making it! I wasn't able to find squid, so I made it with shrimp instead! See less
Ingredients
- 1/3 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined shopping list
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch shopping list
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil shopping list
- 1 teaspoon Penzey's Szechuan salt & pepper spice blend shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes shopping list
How to make it
- Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with the cornstarch and set aside. See Photo
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or heavy skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and stir-fry until shrimp is pink but not quite done See Photo. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to wok. Heat until just before the smoking point; add the garlic, red pepper flakes and salt & pepper blend and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until you just start to smell the garlic...you don't want the garlic to turn brown or it will get bitter. See Photo
- Add the shrimp back to the wok and toss with the spices for 30 seconds.
- Serve with steamed rice.
Toss the shrimp with cornstarch.
