  2. You can use the flat side of your knife to press, crack, and coarsely chop the peppercorns.
  3. Heat a skillet or wok and add the melted butter over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and black pepper until fragrant, then add the tiger prawns or shrimp and stir to combine.
  4. Add the oyster sauce and stir a few times before incorporating the wine and sugar. Stir-fry until the prawns or shrimp are cooked through. Add the scallions, mix well, then dish out and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best results, broil the black pepper shrimp in the oven for 1 minute to slightly char the surface.
