1 Lb jumbo shrimp
⅛ cup cornstarch, more as needed

1 ½ tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Making the Salt and Pepper Shrimp...
Clean and devein the shrimp.
Place cornstarch in a bowl. Roll the shrimp in cornstarch to coat lightly and evenly, brushing off excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and saute until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
Heat remaining peanut oil in the same skillet. Add garlic, onion, and ginger, cook and stir until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add scallions, jalapeno, and coated shrimp. Cook and stir for 30 seconds while seasoning with most of the salt and pepper.
Garnish with remaining salt and pepper before serving.
Enjoy!
