About Salt and pepper shrimp

Salt and Pepper Shrimp is a flavorful dish originating from Chinese cuisine, celebrated for its crispy texture and bold seasoning. Typically, shrimp are lightly coated in a thin layer of starch, fried until golden, and tossed with a savory mix of salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped chili peppers. This dish often features scallions or other aromatics, enhancing its aromatic profile. Shrimp serves as a high-protein, low-calorie source of nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, the frying process adds extra calories and fat, and the use of salt means this dish can be high in sodium. Opting to pan-sear the shrimp instead of deep-frying and moderating added salt can make this dish a healthier choice while preserving its signature flavor. Perfect as an appetizer or entrée, it delights with every bite.
