Devein the shrimp by cutting along the back of the shell and removing the vein. In a large bowl combine the tapioca starch, black pepper, and salt. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat.
Heat the avocado oil in a 10” or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the skillet, fry the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
After cooking all of the shrimp, add them to a large bowl with the Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, green onion, and cilantro. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.
