Deep-fried Salt & Pepper Shrim with Mango Salsa

Salt and pepper pork chops have been at the top of my list of comfort foods lately. There is this one Chinese restaurant between San Jose and Campbell that I go to whenever the craving kicks in. Even before I look at the menu, the lady proprietor already asks me, "hot tea, water and salt & pepper pork chops?" Of course my answer is yes. 99% of the time!

Salt and pepper recipes can be seafood-based as well, substituting the pork with either fish or shrimp.

This recipe uses shrimp. I'll let you in on a little secret. This dish comes perfectly well with mango salsa! It creates a perfect balance of salty, sweet and spicy. What more could you ask for?
