How to Make Salt and Pepper Shrimp

[wrightjennifers]

Love this video and your southern drawl....... just like that! (smile)

[alyssahtr]

can u use reg vegie oil instead of peanut oil does it make a difference...?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@alyssahtr You can use vegetable oil instead of the peanut oil. I prefer peanut oil simply b/c I like the way it fries - but it's basically the same :)

[iMooglie]

i did everything right but when stir frying it, DO NOT ADD THE SALT AND PEPPER. makes it WAYYYYY too salty, unless you want it extremely salty be my guest.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@iMooglie You may have used regular fine ground salt which would make this too salty; but if you used the Sea salt which is larger (like little rocks rather than fine) then it shouldn't be too salty :)

[mattsthoughts2010]

could i remove the shell anyway and it still be ok??? I have had them with the shell and just don't like the shell on what do you think? :)

[Sho4eva1251982]

@mattsthoughts2010 I made it with the shell off and it turned out perfectly fine. This may be a little too late, though. :o

[cardona007]

I have had the salt and pepper shrimp with the whole body. Head, legs and tail. Also, It looked like the plate had little pieces of fried garlic mixed in as well. Is this basically the same recipe as well?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@cardona007 Yes, most places leave the head on and sometimes the tail - not sure about the legs though :)

[mrzfebo]

sOme restaurants use fried chili peppers dO i really need them?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@mrzfebo I usually just use regular black pepper. If you want them spicier you could use either szechuan pepper or the chili peppers as well :)

[MrQuagmire26]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy another great tip. Toast the szechuan pepper corns in a hot wok until the aromas start to come out and beat lightly in a mortar.

[Lvrebel3]

if i dont have a wok can i use my deep fryer? and at what heat?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Lvrebel3 You can deep fry them at 350 - but just until they turn pink. Then use a regular pot to toss them with the salt and pepper :)

[fyrblaed]

I thought you're supposed to use szechuan pepper instead of ground pepper.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@fyrblaed You can use either ground black, szechuan or white pepper for this dish :)

To each your own preference people! Shrimp heads SCARES me, so I prefer them headless. Although I may cook these with the shells on, I'll take them off prior to eating. But I do believe they are a good source of calcium!

[singteardr0p]

ah! typical asian..got to cook outside so it won't stink up the inside of the house.. hehehehe.

[MsRere27]

thanks !

[sufihadi]

just like that .... 1000 times ...

[ognamjah143]

actually i prefer the head, it has so much juice! i also think there should garlic

[st123247]

Yet another variation of American/Chinese cooking....and btw "Where's the shrimp head? that's the best part of salt and pepper shrimp."

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

You can leave the heads on if you wish. But I think that most people - those that I know anyway, prefer this dish with them off :)

[td866]

@st123247 wah wah wah stop complaining

[SVNPatriot2009]

Nice vid, thanks for sharing

[durtysoufb]

Do I have to leave the shell on?? is it gonna be crispy if i take the shell off ?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

The shell is what gives these shrimp their crispy crunch :)

[paulmileson]

I would always take the shells off! Much nicer!

[bw8n]

Thanks for replying so quickly. Some of my favorite restaurants have a few salt and pepper recipes: calamari, chicken wings, smelt (of course), shrimp, pork, chicken (probably breast pieces). I like the coating of corn starch for crispiness. I learned that from you.

[bw8n]

[My, long ago, neighbor was into sound effects recording and talking book productions and he once told me they used those egg crate foam panel walls to absorb the echos produced in a large warehouse recording studio. I like hearing your nice voice as I watch my favorite dishes prepared.]

[bw8n]

Hi cutie,

Can this recipe be used for salt & pepper smelt? Can I add sliced, mild jalapeno peppers and green onions for some kick (because I like being kicked around) ? Do you have any unmarried twin sisters in California? Just wondering.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

I've never made salt and pepper smelt, but I'm pretty sure you need to coat them with flour to give them a crunchier texture.

No I don't have any unmarried sisters - my little sister is married too.

[leftyutah]

I have made this from watching you and it turned out great.. You do a great job of explain how to make these foods. I have always wanted to learn to make this type of food and finding you and others has been great. Though I find your videos much easier then others. Thanks your great!

[SGmom2]

Those look yummy! Your kitchen is beautiful too.

[MCHJ]

this looks great i think i'll try this today along with the fried rice, thanks!

[chinesedude001]

just like that xD

[reddhalia]

I love shrimps but has to be cleaned and deveined! There are restaurants, that leave the veins of the shrimps. nasty. that is the shrimp intestines. You did it the right way!

[tylertyler82]

I love the tail and the head. Salt and pepper chicken and shrimp is so overwhelming at first but I crave it now..

[sharpasaneraser]

you sound like phoebe from firends...just like that.

[douglasroby]

Do you remove the shell to eat or do you consume the shell and all?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

You're actually suppose to eat the shell and all. They will be quite crunchy, and if you don't care for them, of course you can take them off :)

[erika3632]

you said just like that liike a million times!!

wheres the shrimp head? thats the best part of salt and pepper shrimp.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Some people make them with the head intact. I personally prefer them without :)

[Wivanunu]

Just like at the restuarant! Yum!!!

[01maxima]

[SillageDeLaReine]
