Jan 21 2008 - 9:13am When I found out that today is Hot and Spicy Day, I knew it was time to ask you what you thought of this dish. When I was in Shanghai, we stopped to have this delicious dish featuring fried chicken, two giant prawns and — as you can obviously tell — a massive load of red peppers. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten and I dream about eating it again.
Definitely, though I find fried things really unhealthy - I'd still dig in. If you like this, there's a really delicious Chinese dish (I don't think you can find it in the US, but let me know
if you can ... I've only had it in Vancouver Canada and Hong Kong) that is basically wontons in a really, really super hot and spicy sauce. Try it!!! It's called "hong you chao shou" and
here's a link to a recipe I found online: http://www.grouprecipes.com/31655/hot-and-spicy-wontons.html
Yum, how did the peppers taste? on a spicy scale from 1 to 10??? where they dry or soft?
I LOVEEE fried prawns, especially the kind where you can eat the skin along with the shrimp bc it's so perfectly fried
If it was just the peppers and chicken sure but the shellfish mean that I'd have to whip out the epi-pen so that I wouldn't die. No fun it that. I love spicy food even with no stomach acid
and a tiny stomach.
If you live in San Francisco, you can find this dish at Spices II on 6th and Clement in teh Richmond district- It is called Shrimp with Explosive Chili Pepper!
I've had a dish with flash fried snake beans and kan koong (water spinach, I think) in soya sauce which was absolutely smothered in these little fried chillis. We tried to eat around the
chillis, but every now and then you grab a bite of one. Nearly blew my head off. Still, it was one of my favourite meals and one I wake up craving every so often (-: The salty and spicy combo
with very fresh veg can't be beaten.

Would depend on exactly how spicy those peppers were. They do come in degrees of spiciness. But hey, I'm willing to try, at least. Even if that'd mean becoming very familiar with a bucket of
water afterwards.

Mmm yum!
1I would try it!
I LOVE spicy food... the hotter the better... Thai being my favorite... they love their mouths on fire just as much as I do!
2Give me something similar but vegetarian, and YUM!
3It looks good, but too hot for me.
4I had those giant shrimp things when I was in china too...sooooo delicious.
It would probably be too spicy but I'd eat it anyway. I wouldn't eat any of the actual peppers though.
5i would try it.. im not sure that i would get through the whole thing.. depends on HOW spicy it is.. but i would def eat as much as i could handle!
6I would totally eat this but switch the fried chick for grilled chick. Try to cut down on fat content
7That sounds really really good!
8I love love love spicy food, but all those peppers are a little scary-looking.
9i wud...i'll just eat arnd the chillies
10I would definitely try it, but I might not be able to handle the whole thing on my own!
11I'm crazy about spicy food so this would be delish.
12mm it looks really good!
13My colon would not appreciate this.
14What are Prawns??
15Definitely, though I find fried things really unhealthy - I'd still dig in.

16I wish I could but I would probably die
17ellejay - prawns are large shrimp. Although in some countries the word prawn and shrimp are used interchangeably. here's more info. hope that helps!
18That looks so good. I would definitely give it a go.
19Way too spicy for me. I'd probably collapse with indigestion!
20I'd try a few bites, it looks pretty good.
21Yummy! I love spicy food. Although the prawns look a bit different than what I normally buy at the store, they look good!
22I like spicy food, but this just has too many peppers. And I hate fried food.
Maybe if the chicken wasn't fried and the peppers were toned down a bit, I'd try it.
23thanks- i'm def. in then. the spicy the better !
24Give me the recipe - I'd love to try this. Looks incredible!
25Yum, how did the peppers taste? on a spicy scale from 1 to 10??? where they dry or soft?
26I LOVEEE fried prawns, especially the kind where you can eat the skin along with the shrimp bc it's so perfectly fried
Imagine how much torture would be done to your anus afterwards.
27NOT GOOD.
Is a good, if made vegetarian.
28That dish looks amazing. I'm the kind of person who eats the peppers out of Chinese food, so this dish is right up my alley!
29It looks great but I could never. Id die lol
30If it was just the peppers and chicken sure but the shellfish mean that I'd have to whip out the epi-pen so that I wouldn't die. No fun it that. I love spicy food even with no stomach acid and a tiny stomach.
31I'm not good with spicy food, but I'm trying to teach myself to like it better.
32Ick... I can't handle spicy food. I try, I really do, but I just can't handle it.
33i love chillies, sambals, and spicy foods!!!!!!!! yay
34Love spicy food!
35two words: ACID ... REFLUX
36My tongue burns just looking at the pic!
37Wooo that looks good!! Pass me a plate and some Tums.
38If it didn't have prawns in it, I'd be all over that!
39Love spicy food, but this would be way too much for me!
