Spicy Salted Shrimp Heads

Crispy Salt & Pepper Shrimp Heads are a mouthwatering delicacy that’s quick to prepare yet packed with bold flavors. This recipe transforms shrimp heads into a crunchy, aromatic snack with a perfect balance of garlicky richness and peppery kick. The key lies in the double-frying technique—first at high heat for crispiness, then at a lower temperature for golden perfection. Fresh garlic and scallions add depth, while a sprinkle of pepper salt enhances every bite. Ideal as a beer snack or appetizer, these shrimp heads are irresistibly savory with a satisfying crunch. Follow the simple steps to achieve restaurant-quality results at home, ensuring each piece is crispy outside and tender inside. A must-try for seafood lovers looking for a unique and flavorful dish!
