Shrimps And Noodles

When I have less time I prefer to cook noodles.It's easy to prepare  and can be tossed  together with any  vegetables available in the refrigerator.However I prefer on  my bed of noodles some curried Prawns or shrimps which to a great extent   tantalizes my tastes buds.Shrimps or prawns tastes the same but can be cooked in many different ways.I love to eat  shrimps with a lot of spices and herbs .The noodles can be cooked according to instructions in the packet.And  vegetables and meat added according to your choice.I have earlier posted the recipe for Deviled Shrimps which is  an  ideal accompaniment for Noodles.

Deviled Shrimps

This is my favourite seafood.I love it when it is cooked with  onions and chilly.Usually I get them cleaned at the market where we purchase.This time I had to do all the deveining and cleaning  all by myself.I cut both ends of the shrimps and applied a tablespoon of turmeric powder on the fresh shrimps and washed them well.I trimmed both the ends of the shrimps  as my children find it  appetizing  without them.

                                                           - A kilo of Shrimps-

In a little oil,I fried a few cloves of crushed garlic and ginger.Then I sauteed the shrimps.While still cooking,I mixed in a teaspoon of cummin seeds and  2-3 teaspoons of chilly powder and continued cooking till it changed colour.Then I added  a tablespoon of tomato paste,salt to taste and the juice of one lemon.

While it was still sizzling in the pan ,I threw in a few sliced green bell peppers ,a sliced onion and one chopped tomato.Finally I drizzled dashes of soya sauce and let it simmer for a while.

 This is a meal in a jiffy.You can serve it with rice,toast bread or chappatis: flat bread.
