5-Minute Oven Baked Black Pepper Shrimp

This is dish has been trending in Taiwan for the last 15 years. It's a very recent creation compare to all the other Taiwanese/Chinese dishes. Imagining in a hot, humid summer day, when you have no appetite....Walk into one of the Black Pepper Shrimp Restaurant, ordering yourself a cold beer along with this spicy yummy shrimp dish. Ahhhh.....it's like finding an Oasis in the dessert! Fortunately, for all of us who live outside of Taiwan, we get to duplicate this dish easily and bring the Oasis onto our own table! Cheers!
