Steps:
- Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave them for at least five minutes.
- Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
- Rinse the shrimp, drain them well and coat them with the egg white. Leave them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the chili paste, sesame oil, sherry and stock in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds, just enough to turn them opaque. Stir with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the shrimp on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice only, with seafood.)
- Pour off all but a tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the scallions, garlic and ginger for one minute. Add the snow peas and fry for about 30 seconds.
- Add the chili paste-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

MANGO AND SPICY SHRIMP SALAD
This dressing is good on any salad but is very nice with the spicy shrimp. You can have this as a main dish if you double the portions. This recipe is from Best of Bridge - one of the things that I really like about their recipes is that they are up to your own interpretation when it comes to how to slice the mango and vegetables, how much of the greens you like and designing the plate. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your dish will taste. Look for ripe mangoes, crisp snow peas, and succulent shrimp.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a Spicy Chili: The type of chili you use will determine the level of spiciness in your dish. If you like it hot, use a serrano or habanero pepper. For a milder flavor, use a jalapeƱo or poblano pepper.
- Balance the Flavors: This dish is all about balance. The sweetness of the mango, the spiciness of the chili, and the acidity of the lime juice should all be in harmony.
Conclusion:
This spicy shrimp and mango with snow pea salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So, next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
