Pepper & Butter Prawns Recipe

Pepper & Butter Prawns!

Black Pepper is an extra-ordinary spice which has immense nutritional benefits

which all of us are aware of. Already I am an avid user of pepper, but what I recently read

about pepper persuades me to use even more.  Pepper is said to have high level of 'bio-

availability', which means the absorption of nutrition from the food. Most of the time,

our body doesn't fully absorb the nutrition from the food we consume. Pepper helps to

absorb nutrition from the food. Also, the ingredients in pepper increase the gut motility as

well as the digestion power by increasing gastro-intestinal enzyme secretions.

Here's a wonderful prawns recipe using pepper, which is very similar to the ones served in

'restaurants'. Yet we can be reassured it’s healthy too. Using moderate amount of butter is

actually healthy for kids.
