Istruzioni

Prepare Shrimp: Dredge the shrimp thoroughly through the flour and shake off any excess flour.

Toast Peppercorns: Toast the Szechuan peppercorns in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, until fragrant, for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the peppercorns to a mortar and pestle and grind to a fine powder. Set aside.

Make Sauce: In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients together.

Cook Shrimp: In a large skillet heat the ¼ cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook on both sides for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Finish: Discard the oil from the skillet and clean it. Add remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, chillies and the white part of the green onion. Cook for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with ground peppercorns and toss well. Drizzle the stir-fry sauce over the shrimp and toss well until combined.

Serve: Garnish with the green part of the green onions and serve with rice.
