Spicy Shrimps

This spicy shrimp recipe can be a great appetizer or a viand. With lots of spices in this recipe like red chili, ginger, star anise I’m sure your craving for a spicy seafood will be satisfied. Although the recipe calls for a sherry, which I think is not easy to find in a supermarket and you have to find an alcoholic beverage section. It can be substituted with apple cider, rice wine or I think pineapple juice.

To cook Spicy Shrimps; Wash shrimps and trim the head by cutting the antenna and spikes. Strain in a colander or pat dry with paper towels. In a skillet, heat oil and stir fry shrimps over high heat until color becomes pinkish. Then add all the seasoning, the red chili powder, ginger, star anise, sesame oil, salt, sugar, dry sherry and water. Cook until liquid dries up.
