Toasted Sichuan peppercorns give this its buzzing, citrusy heat, while dried chilies add warmth without much fire. Shrimp cook in two minutes, so everything else is ready before they hit the pan. Edamame adds sweetness and makes each bowl more filling.

Pat the shrimp very dry so they sear instead of steaming.
Toast the peppercorns in a dry pan before crushing; it doubles their aroma.
