Spice-crusted stir-fried shrimp top a cool, crisp Asian-style
slaw for an easy supper. Many traditional versions of this
recipe use Sichuan peppercorns. We’ve opted to use Chinese
five-spice powder, which contains Sichuan peppercorns and
is more readily available.
Make it a Meal: Serve with rice noodles or brown rice and
a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

TIP: Ingredient notes:
Rice flour is made from finely milled white rice. It is often
used in Asian cooking for desserts and to thicken sauces. Look
for it in Asian markets or the natural-foods section of your
supermarket.
Often a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and
Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder was originally considered
a cure-all miracle blend encompassing the five elements (sour,
bitter, sweet, pungent, salty). Look for it in the supermarket
spice section.
