- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 pound shrimp, unpeeled

I loved this recipe… simple and easy to make with great results.
the shrimp had good flavor, a little salty. next time not so much salt in the water!
An extra star for ease of preparation. I was looking for something “regular” and not with a boullion or wasabi sauce…..very simple, and very good
great taste!
