🍤 Szechwan Shrimp – A Fiery Asian Delight

🌶️ Introduction

If you love bold flavors and a touch of heat, Szechwan Shrimp (also spelled Sichuan Shrimp) is your perfect dish. 
This Chinese-inspired favorite combines succulent shrimp with a spicy, garlicky Szechwan sauce that bursts with flavor. Balanced with hints of sweetness, tang, and umami, it’s a quick stir-fry that delivers restaurant-quality taste right at home.


🍤 What Is Szechwan Shrimp?

Originating from China’s Sichuan province, known for its fiery cuisine, this dish gets its signature flavor from Szechwan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, and chili paste.
The sauce is spicy yet aromatic — a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar — that perfectly coats each shrimp, creating an irresistible glaze.


🧂 Ingredients

For the shrimp:

  • 400 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 tbsp cornflour

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • 1 tbsp oil (for frying)

For the sauce:

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • 2 tbsp Szechwan or chili paste

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp vinegar (rice or white)

  • 1 tsp sugar or honey

  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup (optional, for balance)

  • ¼ cup water

Optional additions: sliced bell peppers, spring onions, or toasted sesame seeds.


🔥 How to Make Szechwan Shrimp

  1. Marinate the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cornflour. Set aside for 10 minutes.

  2. Heat oil in a wok or skillet and sauté the shrimp for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same pan, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger — sauté until aromatic.

  4. Stir in Szechwan paste, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water. Let it simmer for a minute.

  5. Add the shrimp back into the pan and toss well until evenly coated with the sauce.

  6. Garnish with spring onions or sesame seeds, and serve hot.


🍽️ Serving Ideas

Szechwan Shrimp pairs beautifully with:

  • Steamed jasmine rice 🍚

  • Fried rice or noodles 🍜

  • Or even as a spicy appetizer for parties 🎉


🌿 Pro Tips

  • Adjust the spice level by adding or reducing Szechwan paste or dried chilies.

  • For a saucier version, add 1 tsp cornflour dissolved in water to thicken the sauce.

  • Add crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for texture and color.


💬 Conclusion

Szechwan Shrimp is a perfect fusion of spice, sweetness, and savoriness — a quick yet flavorful meal that brings the heat of Sichuan cuisine straight to your kitchen.
It’s bold, aromatic, and utterly satisfying — a must-try for anyone who loves Asian stir-fries with a kick! 🔥🍤
