Asian Chinese Fry Marinade Seafood Shrimp Spice

Chinese Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Chinese Salt and Pepper Shrimp is a very simple dish that carries loads of flavour with very few ingredients. I have used this time and again, with great success as both a starter and also as a canape. I normally served in a large glass bowl in the middle of a table for buffet or nibbles. As a starter, I normally just serve this on a bed of crisp lettuce. However, don’t forget to use the marinating juices and drizzle over the leaves. The ease at which this is made in only 15 minutes, ignoring marinating time, means a fast tasty dish. Also, the fact this dish is served warm gives it extra flavour and allows the salt, pepper and garlic powder to fully absorb.
