Add a photoSalt 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?
