Kung Pao Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the shrimp with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add garlic, blackened chiles, bell pepper, zucchini, and scallions. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, add soy sauce, and peanuts. Stir everything together for another 2 minutes. Serve hot over cooked rice.
