Seafood Sunday! Together with the clams (吉巴) that we had on Friday, I had bought 1kg of medium-sized prawns (RM55) from a Pantai Remis seafood dealer. This was, again, thanks to my neighbour, Mr. Lee, who enquired if I wished to place an order, since he was ordering a bounty of seafood from the dealer.
So, with half of those incredibly fresh prawns that I bought, I decided to try out this recipe from one of my Yum Yum cookbooks. When I showed the recipe to hubby last night, he was in favour of it. That’s because he spotted the pepper and the chillis, as dictated by the recipe.
Suffice to say, these Fried Prawns With Pepper (湖椒炒虾） were a big hit tonight. Even as I fried the spices, the aroma of all the tossing of the shallots, garlic, crushed white peppercorns, red chillis, spring onion and ginger made me drool. I did tweak the recipe a little as I did not have 2 ingredients in my pantry. A quick search on the Internet suggested replacing galangal with ginger. In place of HP sauce, I used Maggi chilli sauce and vinegar. Mix that all up with oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dark soya sauce, sugar and water... and there, we have it : Fried Prawns With Pepper!

Starfruit and guava for dessert completed today’s dinner. The guava was one of two, thoughtfully given by my sweet friend, Cheng.
