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.
Bon Appetit! My Friends...
