2 Tablespoons Schezuan Peppercorns (Whole)
1/4 cup Morton® Coarse Sea Salt
2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
1 pound Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tablespoon Ginger, minced
1 bunch Green Onion, chopped

 

 

Directions

1. Place the peppercorns in a sauté pan and heat over medium low heat for 5 minutes or until the peppercorns are aromatic.
2. Transfer the salt and peppercorn mixture to a mortar and pestle. Grind to a fine spice mixture.
3. Pre-heat a sauté pan over high heat until hot and carefully add canola oil followed by shrimp.
4. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, and flip to the other side to caramelize.
5. Add the ginger, green onions, and the peppercorn/Sea Salt mixture, and 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° F.
• To 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.
