About This Recipe

Experience the bold and aromatic flavors of Sichuan-style Salt & Pepper Shrimp—a quick yet irresistible dish that’s tender, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned. Juicy shrimp are marinated in a blend of scallion, ginger, and Chinese yellow wine for a savory depth, then stir-fried with coarse salt and numbing Sichuan peppercorns for a mouthwatering kick. The high-heat cooking locks in succulence, while the peppercorns add a tingling warmth that elevates every bite. Simple yet packed with umami, this dish comes together in minutes, making it ideal for a gourmet weeknight meal or an impressive appetizer. Serve it hot for the best texture—crisp on the outside, tender on the inside—and enjoy the addictive balance of salt, spice, and briny sweetness. A true taste of Sichuan cuisine at home!
