Chinese Garlic Shrimp (蒜蓉煎虾)
  1. Start by preparing the shrimp. Use scissors to cut off the legs. While you have the scissors out, you can beautify the tail by cutting it into a sharp diamond. Marinate with ¼ of the garlic salt and 1.5 tsp cornstarch.

  2. Smash and peel the garlic. Trim and discard the hard ends of each clove. Then, smash the cloves with a heavier hand to get it really broken up. Mince roughly, and set aside. Combine all seasonings and set aside.

  3. Heat a flat pan on high. Once the pan is hot enough, lower the heat to medium. Add oil and swirl the pan to spread it around. Then, individually place each shrimp down on the pan, pulling them straight. Cook two minutes each side. Pull and plate to the side.

  4. Add the minced garlic to the pan. Turn the heat down to low and stir-fry the garlic or about 30 seconds, until fragrant and golden in color. Add shrimp back to the pan and seasonings.
