How to Make Tasty Stir Fry Szechuan Prawns Shrimps

  1. Peel and devein 1 pound of prawns.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sherry, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns. Add the prawns and marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Stir-fry 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch minced ginger, and 2 cups of your favorite chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snow peas) for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
  6. Drain the marinated prawns, reserving the marinade. Add the reserved marinade to the wok.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until pink and cooked through.
  8. Add ½ cup chicken stock, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sherry, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) to the wok. Stir to combine.
  9. Return the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for another minute until heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  10. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
