Szechuan Shrimp Recipe

[bossin88]

@boltroth I used Szechuan marinade in replacement. I got mine at stater bros in the Asian food aisle.

[bossin88]

It was really good but my sauce didn't really thicken. =\ other than that, perfection! :) I made mine with pasta instead of rice..yum!

[freitasex]

@bossin88

Wonderful that you made this with things you could find.

That is what cooking is all about, thanks!

[boltroth]

What is Szechuan peper and where can i get it and if i cant any thing else i can use? thanks

[freitasex]

@boltroth

You can get it from a well stocked Asian Store of from the Internet like Amazon.

You can use regular pepper if you are not willing to do that.

[Dimanta]

Looks delicious! I will try this out. Just wonder if I can use olive oil instead of sesame oil?

[freitasex]

@Dimanta

If you do not like sesame oil, leave it out and do not substitute anything.

Thank you for your question!

[Dimanta]

@freitasex I do not know how sesame oil taste and I do not mind. But just was curious if I can use the oil I already have at home :) Thanks for reply.

[holymoutain]

just made this dish tonight. I like it. It's definitely a keeper.

[freitasex]

@holymoutain

Excellent, glad you liked it.

To me..... Asian cuisine is easy to make, well most of it is easy.

[ddd3240]

@freitasex Ok. Tried it. Pretty good. Thanks for the video. My wife loved it.  She is 100% Chinese.

[freitasex]

@ddd3240

Wow, now that is an awesome compliment, thank you!

[skyllaable]

looks good! You should use wok next time works better!

[freitasex]

@skyllaable

Thank you for your advise!

[cludincludin]

looks awesome!

[freitasex]

@cludincludin

Thank you!

[holkn]

yay to fake chinese food!

[freitasex]

@holkn

Thank you so much, you are a wonderful person!

[Spacemonkeymojo]

@holkn How about you start making videos on how to make real chinese food before you start putting down other people on Youtube? Idiot.

[NasimATBird]

Poor shrimps, what a sad ending.

[RunThemAll]

That looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it.

[freitasex]

@RunThemAll

Thank you!

[suelectric]

Super like this recipe!!! Thanks alot for sharing!! :))

[freitasex]

@suelectric

Thanks!

[InnebandyX3]

can i taste?

[freitasex]

@InnebandyX3

Sure, of course!

[freitasex]

I guess Gordon Ramsey could not cook this either.

BUT I am not comparing myself to him, I am just a home cook.

[emeraldFloyd]

...White man cooking Chinese food?...come on now.

[freitasex]

@emeraldFloyd

I am certainly no Gordon Ramsey, but do you think he could cook this?

[emeraldFloyd]

@freitasex as long as you have the actual technique of stir frying then sure...

[msjulieyaj]

I can't wait to try this dish this weekend! Thank you so much.  I subscribed.

[freitasex]

@msjulieyaj

Thank you and I hope you find more that sounds good to you!

[cfrntc]

wooow! the best man! lets have dinner

[freitasex]

@cfrntc

Thank you!

[killerbetch]

peper flakes are not good for u....

[thricegod1288]

@killerbetch neither is tobacco. alcohol, automobile fumes. aerosole spray. to much sunlight, and flouride, but we take in that stuff everyday huh?

[brok3nback]

Where do you get Sichuan peppercorn?

[freitasex]

@brok3nback

I bought them at my local Asian Market.

They were not labeled as Szechuan, but examining them they definitely were and the woman at the store said they were, I was not sure if she was correct at that moment, but she was!

[sweetnssssssssssss]

this is awesome i added some baby corn lol

[freitasex]

@sweetnssssssssssss

What a great idea, thanks!

[punkrevo]

Absolutely delicious! Nice video!

[freitasex]

@punkrevo

Thanks very much!

[gcarped]

Looks fabulous. I want a taste! I will make this dish, even if I have to use chicken (which is what I have now). I'm sure it will be yummy! Thanks for this vid!

[freitasex]

@gcarped

Thanks and I am sure that using chicken would be fine.

If you want to buy some shrimp, I would as soon as possible because I suspect prices will go up because of the oil spill in the gulf by Louisiana/Mississippi area.

[rainbirdvalley]

G'day from Australia!!. Love your channel. Have you ever tried that dish with chicken? I had Szechuan chicken at a resturant and it was the nicest thing I have ever eaten. Just can't seem to find a recipe for it.

[freitasex]

@rainbirdvalley

I will try to come up with that for you, it may take a while.

Thanks!

[rainbirdvalley]

@freitasex Thanks mate!!!!

[chum57]

do you have a rice cooker?

[freitasex]

@chum57

No... I do not have a rice cooker :(

[bbsw2001]

the rice looks good, yum...

where did you buy szechuan pepper corns?

[freitasex]

@bbsw2001

I bought them at an asian store on Green River Road in Evansville Indiana USA!

Thanks!

[ilovedragons]

looks fucking good.

[freitasex]

Thanks!

[holymoutain]

I just made this dish. I had japanese noodles instead of rice. Very nice.

[freitasex]

Thanks :)

It was a bit spicy for even me... but I did like it.

Thanks again!

[freitasex]

Thank you and thanks for subscribing too!

[Autobodyrepairman]

why didn't you add the shrimps first with a little oil and Ginger and garlic ? Then remove , then do all your vegitables then add shrimps back then add suace

You pin head ,

[freitasex]

You should subscribe to me to keep me inline.

LOL

[Autobodyrepairman]

LOL maybe I should .... Sorry about the pin head comment LOL

[inthefuturetoday]

Excellent video!!

Autobodyrepairman -- Shrimpy have a tendency to cook very quickly and cooking them, then letting them set, then recooking them is a horrible idea. Have you heard of carryover cooking? "pinhead"

[vientoazul77]

[Bralor89]

First...nice Recipe! ehh but one thing i thought about

You said, you lived once in an old farm house? When you were young right? (you're still young, but you know what I mean ;)

Where do you live now? Do you live alone, or do you have any children?

Greetings to you once again from germany!

Nice Recipe! Keep it up!

[freitasex]

I live in Evansville, Indiana USA

You can see that if you click on Statistics & Data just under the video and see where that is located.

I don't want to answer the other questions... sorry :)

[avhcbeaver1]

nice...I just made something similar this past weekend

[freitasex]

and you didn't invite me over!? LOL

[nabadraadshe]

I like the contents/or the texture of the sauce but unfortunately I am not a great fan of sea food!!! Can I use it for chicken?? Thanks Freitasex, you are doing great job.

[freitasex]

Chicken would be the perfect substitute!

Thanks!

[nabadraadshe]

Thanks Freitasex for the quick feedback.

[vincentruther]

lolol i started thinking before that you dont eat rice! but something proved me wrong and its this dish! great btw! 5/5

[freitasex]

I love rice!

[fezan84]

You are a master! Garlic/ginger/onion/spicy/salt­y is so great. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe.

[freitasex]

I agree totally, I like sweet too, but not too sweet :)

[LiquidFriction]

was that shrimp pre cooked? o.O

[freitasex]

No, the shrimp was raw, why would you think that.

I don't think I have ever purchased cooked shrimp in my life.

Thanks :)

[LiquidFriction]

Because it didn't look like you cooked it very long =)

[freitasex]

OIC, well the shrimp were small ones =)

[Tuamigasincera]

wow I almost can smell it. It looks delicious! thanks for your time! I like spicy food.

[freitasex]

Thank you!

5*s mike!

[freitasex]

Thanks!

You are fantastic #1!

[peanutsthyname]

my favorite! :)

[freitasex]

You are my favorite!

[SouthernSky]

looks absolutely gorgeous and tasty with all greens, yellows and reds and greens again! I'm pretty sure your list of requests might be a little long :) but I like to submit a request - Jamaican Jerk Chicken ( with habanero of course :)) . How about that ?

[freitasex]

I love your request!

LOve it!

I do not have a BBQ grill, and I think that is essential.

I will think of ideas to make this indoors!

Thanks

[SouthernSky]

You could use your grilling plate from this video: watch?v=0QcjVvqJ1p0 (portobello mushrooms). :)

[Jeerdin]

I wish i had your talents seriously, here is a low down.

Jordan - I'm hungry i'll make food. and i end up with like brunt bread.

Michael- I'm hungry, i'm gonna make jordan jealous and make a huge feast.

Ends up with a huge feast of loveliness and puts it on youtube and eat it in front of me Aside from that, this dish looked pretty great, i personally love shrimp, and once you michaelize it, it is even better :P

Yes, michaelize it, is the new in word.

[freitasex]

OK, with that comment you are my favorite subscriber!

OMG thanks!

[lupine73]

Now that, sir, looks delicious.

[freitasex]

Thanks and if you like spicy, you will like this!

[lupine73]

I love spicy. My stomach doesn't seem to agree. Red pepper flakes, in particular, seem to mess me up :-/.

[freitasex]

You can leave the red pepper flakes out.

Only add the szechuan pepper corns or regular pepper corns, and it will taste great!

[therockforever2]

great dish really great an easy your a great cook 5 star

[freitasex]

Wow,, thank you!

[Perroquet51]

Looks wonderful! As always, a beautiful presentation.

[freitasex]

Thank you Perr, you always make me smile!

[chinesedude001]

wow looks delicous i love shrimp:D

[freitasex]

I love just about anything from the ocean.

Thanks!

[freitasex]

I have also wanted to tell you this:

If you want to poach eggs, you can put each egg into a small glass bowl that is buttered, and then into the water.

It is a bit easier to make them that way.

~Michael

[chinesedude001]

haha u alrdy said that

[papercuts777]

Always lovin' the crevettes. Nice looking peppers. Another winner!

[freitasex]

Thank you so much.
