SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP
Steps:
- Cut shell along back of each shrimp with small kitchen shears (do not peel) and devein, then snip off legs.
- Heat oil to 400°F in an 8-to10-quart heavy pot.
- Toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and let stand 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, pulse egg whites in a blender until watery, then put in a bowl.
- Stir together cornstarch, 3 tablespoons pepper, and 2 tablespoons kosher salt in another bowl.
- Toss half of shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper in a third bowl; dip in egg white, letting excess drip off, then lightly dredge in cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. (Coating should be as light as possible.) Fry until crisp and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Season, coat, and fry remaining shrimp.
- Reduce oil temperature to 375°F.
- Fry half of chiles with half of cilantro until cilantro just starts to turn dark green and chiles are wilted (do not brown chiles), about 30 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Cilantro will crisp as it cools.)
- Repeat with remaining chiles and cilantro.
- Serve shrimp topped with fried chiles and cilantro and sprinkled with sea salt. Serve immediately.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used half the amount of chili powder that the recipe called for. It was still plenty spicy for me, but it wasn't too overwhelming.
