Kampot Pepper Crab (Khmer: ឆាក្តាមម្រេច) is a Khmer dish made by stir-frying crab with garlic, palm sugar, spring onions, fish sauce and green Kampot peppercorns, a regional specialty of Kampot and Kep.[1]

Variations

[edit]

If fresh green peppercorns are unavailable, they can be substituted with brined green peppercorns.[1] Sometimes coarsely ground black pepper is used instead of green peppercorns.[2] In other seafood variations, crab can be replaced with squid[3][4] or shrimp.[5]
