Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the salt, bouillon powder, sugar and white pepper and reserve.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then drain them quickly in a colander. Leave them moist to absorb the cornstarch to make a crust.
• Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches about 375 degrees F. Add the cornstarch to a large bowl, dredge the shrimp in cornstarch and then shake off the excess. Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes in three small batches. Drain on a sheet pan as you are heating your skillet or wok.
• While the shrimp are cooking, heat a large skillet or wok to high and spoon in 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, stir in the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and cook for about 30 seconds until light brown.
• Toss in the fried shrimp, reserved sugar-and-salt mixture and scallions. Continually toss the shrimp to coat well, 1 to 2 minutes. Once the shrimp are heated through, plate the shrimp and top with crispy bits from the pan.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together 1 tablespoon salt and 4 cups cold water. Add shrimp and swish in the water using your hands for about 30 seconds. Drain. Repeat process with another tablespoon salt and 4 cups cold water; drain and rinse shrimp under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix together remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, and ground Szechuan peppercorns; set aside.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, ginger, and chile; cook, stirring with a metal spatula, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Push garlic mixture to one side of wok and carefully add shrimp, spreading them in an even layer. Let cook, without stirring, 1 minute.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil and cook, stirring, until shrimp just begin to turn orange. Sprinkle shrimp with salt mixture and continue cooking, stirring, until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Soak shrimp in salty cold water for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Deep-fry the shrimp at 375 degrees for only 20 seconds, then drain. While the shrimp are deep-frying, coat the wok with oil and saute the scallions, garlic and ginger. Add the fried shrimp then season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 20 seconds and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toast both types of peppercorns and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and coarsely grind. Toss shrimp with spice mixture to evenly coat, then thoroughly coat in cornstarch.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add ginger, garlic, and scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and beginning to turn golden in places, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving oil in skillet. Add shrimp to skillet in a single layer (you may need to work in two batches); cook, flipping once, until they turn opaque and shells become crisp and golden brown in places, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to bowl with ginger mixture, tossing to evenly coat; serve immediately.
