KUNG PAO SHRIMP
The name of this dish is now written in English as gong bao shrimp, and this recipe takes inspiration from the American Chinese versions that come from the Sichuan Province of China. Here, flashes of chile heat shine in a glossy swirl of a salty, sour and sweet sauce. With a confetti blend of shrimp, peppers and peanuts, each mouthful is a little spicy and chewy, savory and crisp. The deep malty tang comes from Chinkiang vinegar, a jet-black condiment from China that is traditionally fermented from grains and aged in clay. It's key to this dish and also delicious for dipping dumplings, saucing noodles and dressing vegetables. (Balsamic vinegar, similarly fermented and aged from grape juice in barrels, is a fun, fruity substitute.) With both vegetables and protein, this one-wok stir-fry is a complete meal with steamed rice.

Steps:
- Mix the shrimp, Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a bowl until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let stand while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Stir the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan pepper and remaining teaspoon cornstarch in a separate bowl. Dice the bell pepper and thinly slice the garlic. Have all your ingredients ready next to the stove.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for 15 seconds. Add the peanuts and stir until browned in spots, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the pepper is bright and the garlic starts to become translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles and stir well, then add the shrimp with its marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are curled and just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the scallions and stir until glossy, about 15 seconds, then add the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1 minute. If any of the starchy sauce has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Taste and add more Sichuan pepper if you'd like. Immediately transfer to a dish and serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat the canola oil in a 14-inch heavy bottom skillet or low-sided Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the tortillas 2 at a time and fry until golden brown and puffed, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
- Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up chunks of meat with a wooden spoon until the meat is browned and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and continue to cook and stir until the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 4 minutes longer. Add the corn and cook until the corn is warmed and the chorizo and shrimp are cooked through.
- To serve, place one fried tortilla on a plate. Top with a quarter of the chorizo and shrimp mixture. Spoon a quarter of the enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with a quarter of the queso fresco, a few slices of chile and cilantro leaves. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve each with a lime wedge.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tostadas.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and visual appeal to your tostadas.
- Serve the tostadas immediately. This will ensure that they are crispy and fresh.
- Experiment with different flavors. There are many ways to make shrimp and zucchini tostadas, so feel free to experiment with different flavors and ingredients.
Conclusion:
