shrimp fry
I love fish but my husband likes shrimp. So I make shrimp dishes regularly. It is also so much easier to make. Especially this shrimp fry will go with rice and any gravy/daal.
You can use both fresh or frozen shrimp for this. Just clean the shrimp by removing the outer cover (shell) and wash it.
Ingredients
- Cleaned shrimp - 1 cup
- Rava - 2 tablespoons
- Tamarind - size of a marble
- Chilli powder - 4 tablespoons
- Tumeric powder - half teaspon
- Garlic (optional)
- Oil
- Salt to taste
Method
- Cook the shrimp with some water till the shrimp changes colour and is well cooked (abt 10 minutes)
- Meanwhile make a paste of the tamarind with a little water. Add the chilli powder, turmeric and salt to it and mix it to a fine paste. You can also add 2 cloves of crushed garlic at this stage.
- Coat each shrimp with rava and shallow fry on a pan with a generous amount of oil.
- Serve with onion and lime wedges.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
