  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • Vegetable oil or oil spray, to coat shrimp

  • Salt, to taste

  • 1/4 cup crunchy chili oil or chili crunch

Notes

- Use raw, peeled, and de-veined shrimp for the best results and easiest cooking.

- Adjust chili crisp amount to your spice preference.
- Ensure shrimp are fully cooled before tossing with chili crisp to prevent it from becoming oily.
