Ingredients :

• 450 g jumbo shrimps, shelled

• 3 cloves garlic, slice thinly
• 3 dried chilies, shredded
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Szechwan peppercorns

Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of oil on the shrimps. Lightly pound the peppercorns before mixing in the salt. Heat a wok with the remaining oil. When hot, stri-fry the shrimps over high heat for a minute. Remove the shrimps and pour away the oil to use for other purposes, except for 1 tablespoon. Reheat the oil in the wok or pan. When hot, quickly stir-fry the chili, garlic and scallion. Spread out the spring onion and chili and return the shrimps. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper mixture and stir-fry for 45 seconds. Serve hot with white rice.
