Shrimp in Black Pepper Sauce

Among the gifts received from KIT last week (see generally 17.012 Bacon Jjigae (Budae Jjigae)) were uncooked shrimp leftover from dinner (see generally 17.011 Kimchi Samgyeop Duruchigi).

I deep-fried then tossed them in a pre-made black pepper sauce from Singaporean producer Prima Taste (a gift from my mother, who’d received it from a friend).

Not good.  The shrimp were fine, but the sauce didn’t taste like anything, just salty.

The product from Jumbo Seafood is way better (see most recently 16.258 Oxtail in Black Pepper Sauce), though that one requires some actual cooking.
