White pepper provides earthy flavor to the dish.
In China, salt and pepper shrimp is traditionally made with tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorns. If you have some in the pantry, feel free of charge to use them here we opted for a combo of less difficult-to-come across white and black pepper. The white pepper adds earthy flavor, whilst black kicks up the heat.
