Hot and Spicy Garlic Shrimp

"The spice makes the dish" – that's the motto of Sichuan cuisine. This dish uses 3 different kinds of spice: Doubanjiang, chile oil, and cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.

About Pre-seasoning: Chinese cuisine often calls for meat and seafood to be seasoned before cooking. Not only does this allow the seasonings to be absorbed well, it also serves to make meat soft and tender. Add seasonings and massage in well. Make sure they are well absorbed. Always use your hands, and take care to massage gently and thoroughly.
