Shrimp with salt and pepper skin is a delicious Chinese cooking dish, and here's a common recipe:

Ingredients: Fresh shrimp (try to use larger shrimp).

Egg whites. A pinch of salt and pepper.

Ground white pepper. Starch. Vegetable oil (for frying shrimp).

Chili pepper and minced garlic (optional).

Pieces of green garlic or shallots (optional).

Steps:1Preparation: Wash and cut off the shrimp whiskers, remove the shells, and retain the tails. Use a paper towel or kitchen paper to dry the water off the shrimp.

2.Marinated shrimp: Place the shrimp in a container, add a small amount of salt and pepper, stir evenly with your hands to marinate well. Then, add one egg white and stir to combine.

3.Sticky starch coating: Coat the marinated shrimp one by one with a thin layer of starch, making sure that each shrimp is evenly coated with starch.

4.Fried shrimp: Add enough vegetable oil to the wok, and when the oil temperature reaches 180, put the starched shrimp into the pan one by one and fry them. Fry until the surface of the shrimp is golden brown and crispy, and the shrimp meat changes color, then remove and drain the oil for later use.

5.Prepare the salt and pepper: Saute a few slices of chili peppers and an appropriate amount of minced garlic in a pan until fragrant (optionally skip this step), then add an appropriate amount of salt and white pepper to taste.

6.Stir-fried shrimp: Put the fried shrimp in a wok and stir-fry well with salt and pepper so that each shrimp is evenly coated with salt and pepper seasoning.

7.Remove from the pot: Add some green garlic or green onion to stir-fry, then turn off the heat and cover the pot and simmer for a while to let the aroma melt into the shrimp.

8.Finish: Place the salt-and-pepper shrimp on a plate and enjoy.

Please note that the above is just a common salt-and-pepper shrimp recipe that you can tweak and improve to suit your tastes and preferences.
