For Morton® Coarse Sea Salt & Schezuan Peppercorn Mixture:

3. Measure 1 ½ teaspoons and set aside for recipe use.

Method
1. Pre-heat a sauté pan over high heat until hot. Carefully add canola oil followed by shrimp.

3. Add the ginger, green onions, and 1 ½ teaspoons of Sea Salt and Peppercorn mixture. Finish cooking for another 2 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through.

Chef’s Suggestion:
• Schezuan peppercorns can be found in Asian and Gourmet specialty stores.
• Regular Black peppercorns can be used in place of Schezuan. It is highly recommended to use Schezuan peppercorns for a unique and delicious flavor.
• For those with shellfish allergies, substitute raw chicken for shrimp and cook to 165 degrees F.
• As a substitute for a mortar and pestle, place the peppercorns in a bowl, and crush them with a ladle. Another option is to place them in a plastic bag, and roll them with a rolling pin. The peppercorns can also be ground in a coffee grinder.
