Mix the tapioca starch, black pepper, and salt in a big bowl. Put the shrimp in and stir until they're all coated.
Pour avocado oil into a 10-inch or bigger cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high. Fry the shrimp in batches so they don't crowd the pan, about 2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Move the cooked shrimp to a plate with paper towels to get rid of extra oil. Keep frying the rest of the shrimp the same way.
Once all the shrimp are cooked, put them in a big bowl. Add the Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, green onions, and cilantro. Toss them together.
Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top, and they're ready to eat.
