Sichuan Shrimp With Chili Sauce Food

SZECHUAN CHILI SHRIMP

Steps:

• 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.

SICHUAN SHRIMP WITH CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil a quart of water in your wok.
• Immerse all the veggies and boil rapidly until they each peak color brightness.
• Immediately strain out into a bowl and set aside. Or you can do them in your microwave.
• Put 5 tablespoons of oil into wok. Get it smoking hot and stir the shrimp until it is pink and done. This shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes - it all depends on the horsepower of your stove.
• Put onto plate and discard all excess oil and quickly clean the wok.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in wok . Get it smoking hot and toss in the hot peppers. Cook them for a minute, at most, until you are getting good whiffs of cooking chili.
• Add the other seasonings and stir for 15-20 seconds.
• Add the sauce and stir to mix. Add back in the shrimp and veggies. Stir until you are sure it is all reheated.
• Give a quick dash of toasted sesame oil, then a quick stir.
• Pour onto a nice plate of white rice.

CHINESE CHILI GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp and Shaoxing wine in a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Mix until the salt is evenly dispersed. Set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of oil (or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in a medium-sized skillet until hot. Meanwhile, add the cornstarch and all-purpose flour to the bowl with the shrimp. Toss until the shrimp are fully coated.
• Shake the extra flour off the shrimp and add them to the pan. You might need to cook them in two batches. Let the shrimp cook without touching them, until the bottom turns golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip to brown the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Once done, transfer the shrimp to a large plate without overlapping and keep cooking the rest.
• Once you're done cooking the shrimp, turn off the stove and use paper towels to wipe the pan to remove any residue.
• Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add the ginger and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the sauce to the pan. Cook and stir until the sauce becomes thick and glossy, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Turn the heat off and return the shrimp into the pan, tossing to coat thoroughly.
• Serve hot as a main dish.

SZECHUAN SHRIMP WITH CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel, devein and butterfly the shrimp. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and allow to stand for 1/2 hour. During this time, prepare the sauce: mix together the hoisin sauce, the chili sauce, the Shao Hsing, the soy sauce, the fish sauce, the chili paste with garlic, the sesame oil, the peanut oil, the chili oil, the sugar and the MSG.
• In a wok, bring 4 cups of peanut oil to 375 degrees.
• When the shrimp are ready to cook, thoroughly wash off the salt with cold water. Add another teaspoon of salt to the shrimp, mix, let stand 30 seconds, and wash off the salt. Repeat this procedure twice more. The final time, drain well but do not dry--let some water cling to the shrimp. Immerse half of the shrimp in the hot oil and cook until just past translucent (20 seconds or so). Remove. Add the other half of the shrimp. The oil will not be as hot so this portion of shrimp may need 30 seconds to finish cooking. Remove.
• Drain all of the oil but 2 tablespoons from the wok. Over very high heat, stir-fry the ginger, the scallions, the garlic, and the dried chilies for one minute. Add the reserved shrimp. Toss. Add the prepared sauce. Stir to coat shrimp and serve.
