Ingredients

raw jumbo shrimp (Peeled, deveined, and patted dry)
cornstarch (For coating; use enough to coat the shrimp lightly)
0.5 tsp salt (For the cornstarch coating)
black pepper (For the coating and finishing seasoning; amount unspecified)
salt (For the finishing seasoning; amount unspecified)
sugar (For the finishing seasoning; amount unspecified)
cooking oil (For shallow or deep frying; retain about 1 tablespoon in the pan for sautéing)
garlic (Minced)
mild jalapeño pepper (Sliced)

Steps

1
Pat the peeled, deveined shrimp completely dry with paper towels so the coating adheres evenly.
2
Toss the shrimp with cornstarch, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until every piece has a light, even coating. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, and sugar to make the finishing seasoning mix.
4
Heat cooking oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat.
5
When the oil is hot, carefully add the coated shrimp in a single layer.
6
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden outside and cooked through.
7
Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
8
Pour off most of the oil from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
9
Add the minced garlic and sliced mild jalapeño to the pan over medium heat.
10
Sauté for 30 to 60 seconds, until fragrant and softened, taking care not to burn the garlic.
11
Return the crispy shrimp to the pan with the garlic and jalapeño.
12
Sprinkle the prepared salt, black pepper, and sugar seasoning mix evenly over everything.
