In reply to Ewa Almannai. Surely! You can use my Salt & Pepper Squid recipe to cook peeled shrimp. Happy cooking!

I enjoy your recipes a lot. Thank you Wei!
I have some frozen shrimps in the freezer, but without the skin. Could I try to fry it the way you’ve fried the squid in the recipe Salt and Pepper squid?

In reply to Karen. Yes Karen, you can air fry the shrimp (instead of deep-frying). Coat the shrimp with cornstarch then spray cooking oil all over. The texture won't be the same as deep-fried ones but they still taste nice.

I have a question. Can the salt and pepper shrimp be cooked in an air fryer? Thanks!

Hi Wei, love this recipe but made some adjustments for speed and ingredients I could find at the supermarkets in Australia.
I bought a pack of raw frozen pawns which I thawed in cold water for ten mins, drained and wrapped in some paper towel.
I made up an instant batter and put in the fridge.
I thinly sliced 2 red cayenne chillies which are a medium heat. I cut the same volume of spring onions (white section)
I filled a pan with 5cm of sunflower oil.
I accompanied the prawns with fried vermicelli noodles and prawn crackers.
Added the prawns to the cold batter and fried in the oil until crispy and golden in batches of 5
Fried the chilli and spring onions so they were a bit crispy.
Added a tsp of salt pepper seasoning and mixed in with the prawns.
Put the prawns on the fried noodles, scattered the plate with the fried chilli and spring onion and some fried shallots.
It was so yum 😋

Thanks

Totally scrumptious. Couldn’t be any
easier to follow! My hubby loves everything I make from your amazing site. I honestly haven’t had good Chinese food since I left Australia 36 years ago. Your recipes are definitely the good taste I miss!
Thank you heaps

In reply to Katrien. That's great to hear Katrien! Yes, the heat of fresh chili pepper reduces through cooking.
