Salt and Pepper Shrimp
To make classic salt and pepper shrimp, the shrimp—with heads and shells intact—are deep-fried until crisp. This recipe is a much-simplified version, but it offers the same rich aromas and spicy, toasted-garlic flavor of the traditional recipe. Serve with rice and steamed or stir-fried greens.

Easy & Tasty
This came together really quick and was full of flavour. Just the right amount of heat. I didn't have scallions so I subbed diced onion but added it to the pan with the peppers.

This is really tasty, not too spicy when you eat it. But, when you cook it the fumes are deadly. This is the second time we made it. Will definitely make it again.
