Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, chicken broth, Szechuan peppercorns, and chili paste until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the bell pepper and zucchini into small pieces. Slice the green onions and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Stir-fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Combine and Finish

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and vegetables.

  4. 6

    Add Peanuts and Serve

    Stir in the roasted peanuts and sliced green onions. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
