Method

  1. 1 Trim the shrimp's antennae and leave the shells on, then pat them dry; the shrimp shells are the most flavorful part of this dish.
  2. 2 Fry potato slices in oil for 3 minutes until browned, then remove from the oil.
  3. 3 Fry the shrimp with the shells on at 190 degrees for 90 seconds until the shells are crispy and ready to eat, then remove them from the pan.
  4. 4 Sauté the soybean paste with garlic and ginger for 90 seconds until the oil turns red.
  5. 5 Add the dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the potatoes and celery and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  6. 6 Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 40 seconds without adding water, then sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve in a cast iron skillet.
