Morton® Coarse Sea Salt & Schezuan Peppercorn Mixture:

2 tablespoons Morton® Coarse Sea Salt
1 tablespoon Schezuan Peppercorns

Combine Morton® Coarse Sea Salt and Schezuan peppercorns. Heat over medium heat until fragrant.

Transfer mixture to a mortar and pestle, and grind to a fine spice mixture.

Measure 1 1/2 teaspoons and set aside for recipe use.

Store remaining salt mixture in an air tight container for up to 2 months.

Chef’s Suggestion:

• Schezuan peppercorns can be found in Asian and Gourmet specialty stores.
• Regular Black peppercorns can be used in place of Schezuan. It is highly recommended to use Schezuan peppercorns for a unique and delicious flavor.
• For those with shellfish allergies, substitute raw chicken for shrimp and cook to 165°F.
• As a substitute for a mortar and pestle, place the peppercorns in a bowl, and crush them with a ladle. Another option is to place them in a plastic bag, and roll them with a rolling pin. The peppercorns can also be ground in a coffee grinder.
