LEAH's Kitchen: Black Pepper Prawn

One of our friend hosted a #potluck session at her new house last week. And since I had to come up with a dish for the gathering, I decided to give it a go for #blackpepperprawn. I've always loved the way my mom did her black pepper dishes but I decided that I shall venture into my own recipe without asking her for the recipe, grabbing some tips here and there from the internet :D
 
Feeling like a "Kiasu-aunty", I was so happy when I saw Sheng Siong was having a promotion for prawns, at only $14.90 per kg! Perfecto...! So I bought 2 kg, to cook for my friends, as well as for my own family. Oh, and I did a "bimbotic" act in the supermarket, refusing to touch the prawns with my own bare hands and getting the staff to select and weigh the prawns for me! LOL.

My Healthy Rating:

Prawn is high in cholesterol so I wouldn't rate this dish as healthy.

Those with health problems should eat it in moderation.
