About Crispy salt and pepper shrimp

Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp is a flavorful dish rooted in Chinese cuisine, celebrated for its bold seasoning and pleasing texture. Typically made with whole shrimp, including their shells, this dish is tossed in a light cornstarch coating, fried to golden perfection, and seasoned with a mix of coarse salt, cracked black pepper, garlic, and sometimes chili flakes or scallions for added zest. Rich in protein, shrimp provides essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12 while being relatively low in calories. However, the deep-frying method adds extra fat and calories, making moderation key for maintaining a balanced diet. Leaving the shells intact adds a satisfying crunch and more fiber, though some may find it an acquired taste. Ideal as an indulgent appetizer or main dish, Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp pairs vibrant flavors with an irresistible texture.
