Spicy salt and pepper shrimp is a popular Chinese
dish which we ordered frequently when dining at Chinese restaurants. Salt
an pepper shrimps are delicious cooked and eaten with their shells on.
The shells give these shrimps an amazing flavor. The
deep-fried shrimp shells turned into a wonderful orange color, while the spicy
seasoning adds extra flavor. The shells protects the shrimp flesh leaving it
tender and it is a nice contrast with the crispy shells .
