Ingredients
Instructions
Make the Aromatic Paste
In a mortar and pestle, pound the white peppercorns, cilantro roots, and about half of the chopped garlic into a rough paste to create the flavour base.
Sauté the Aromatics
In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the aromatic paste, the remaining chopped garlic, oyster sauce, fish sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar, mixing well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.
Combine and Steam
Sprinkle the tapioca flour over the marinated shrimp and toss until each piece is lightly coated.
Cook
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place half of the shrimp in a single layer and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
Serve
Remove the cooked shrimp to a plate, repeat with the remaining shrimp, and serve immediately garnished with crispy fried garlic and fresh cilantro leaves, accompanied by jasmine rice.
