Directions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine 18-20 jumbo head-on shrimp with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  2. First Fry (for crispiness): Heat oil for frying to 400°F (200°C). Fry the coated shrimp for 2-3 minutes until crispy on the outside but not overcooked inside. Remove and place on a cooling rack to stay crisp.
  3. Make the Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper, and 2 tsp sugar. Set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry Aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add 2 tbsp minced garlic, 1-2 sliced jalapeños, and 1/4 cup sliced shallots. Stir-fry until very fragrant.
  5. Combine and Season: Add the crispy fried shrimp to the wok. Sprinkle generously with the prepared salt and pepper seasoning and toss everything together quickly and vigorously to combine.
  6. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
