Instructions

1. Cut the red chili, green chili, garlic and scallions.
2. In a bowl, season the shrimp with a pinch each of salt, white pepper and black pepper. Crack in the egg and mix well. Add the cornstarch and toss until evenly coated.
3. Heat 6 tablespoons of high-smoking-point oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and fry for about 1 minute 20 seconds per side, until lightly golden and about 80% cooked. Remove and drain.
4. In a wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add a pinch each of salt, white pepper and black pepper, the chilies and the garlic. Stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
5. Return the shrimp to the wok, toss to combine, add the scallions and give a final quick toss.
