Phoenix Garden

Pepper and Salty Shrimp

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

The pepper and salty shrimp is Phoenix Garden’s signature dish. Its Chinese name is “gold medal pepper and salty shrimp,” and if it ever were to win a medal, it would no doubt be the gold. Seven pieces of butterflied shrimp in the shell are seasoned with pepper and salt and deep fried, so that even the shell is edible with a great crunchy texture. Make sure to add the thin slices of sautéed garlic and jalapeño pepper to each bite; it’s the perfect combination.
