Answers:
Ingredients:

* 1 pound medium shrimp (about 25 shrimp), head removed, deveined, but not shelled
* 2 to 3 tablespoons tapioca starch or cornstarch, as needed
* 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
* 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black, white, or Szechuan peppercorns
* 4 cups oil for deep-frying

Preparation:
Soak the shrimp in warm, lightly salted water for 5 minutes!. Rinse in cold water, drain and pat dry with paper towels!. Lightly coat the shrimp with the tapioca starch or cornstarch!.
In a small bowl, mix the salt with the freshly ground peppercorns and set aside!.
Heat the oil to 360 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep fat fryer, heavy saucepan with deep sides or a second wok (it is easiest not to deep-fry and stir-fry the shrimp in the same wok)!. Carefully add the shrimp to the hot oil, 4 to 5 at a time, and deep-fry until they turn bright orange (about 40 seconds)!. Make sure the temperature does not fall below 350 degrees Fahrenheit!.
Carefully remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels!. Continue deep-frying the remainder of the shrimp!.
Heat a wok on medium heat!. Add the salt and pepper mixture and the deep-fried shrimp!. Stir-fry briefly to coat the shrimp in the mixture (20 to 30 seconds)!. Serve hot!.
