To start, mix the cornstarch with a little bit of water to create a slurry. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
