Ingredients:
Crab:
2 large premium crabs cleaned, de-bowel and shell cracked

Sauce :
1/5 cup premium ground black pepper
1/8 ginger juice
1/8 cup minced garlic
1/8 cup minced shallot
1/5 cup salted low starch solution
1/8 cup premium shallot oil
2 tablespoon salt
2 stalk shallot shoot

Garnish:
2 stalk shallot shoot

Sides:
Assorted Nuts

What's Special:
Using shallot oil will enhance the whole dish to be overwhelmingly "shalloty" together with the other fragrant spices to rid the raw smell of crabs.

Method:
1) Steam the crab for 10 mins.
2) In a wok of hot shallot oil, add in the rest of the ingredients for sauce and fry for 5 mins till fragrant.
3)Put in the crab and stir fry for another 10 minutes.
4)Garnish and dine with assorted nuts and steamed white rice.

oooooo... Yummy!!! :)

Have you tried the ones with thicker black pepper sauce? ;)
I'm not sure if you can get any black pepper from Sarawak in Singapore? If you can find it in Singapore, it's gonna be great!!! :)

Check out the pic of my recent black pepper crabs which I hate it at Cita Rasa Seafood stall...
