Szechwan shrimp

This is one of the excellent Asian shrimp dishes. Szechuan Shrimp is really a guaranteed success. Best of all, it can be done with pre-cooked shrimp so there is little or no heavy work. This is a fantastic combination of sweet and spicy. The Chile red pepper (red pepper flakes) has the spicy touch. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more than less red pepper chili. It also uses the classic Asian flavors such as soy sauce (soy), garlic and ginger. This dish is simple and very quick dish to prepare, ideal if you do not have much time. It can be accompanied with a delicious white rice and cooked broccoli.
