Friends, here is a tasty recipe for shrimp lovers. This recipe is not a modified version of traditional shrimp styles but it is one of my own invention in the kitchen. This is made out of dried shrimp easily available in the dry fish market in all seasons. Since good quality fresh shrimp is a seasonal product in most of the places, dry shrimp is the only option for shrimp lovers when fresh is not available. Believe me, that is the only compromise, we are not compromising on the taste of our shrimp dish. It is as good as or even better of a normal dish made out of fresh shrimp.
When I was a bachelor and living with friends, we used to buy dry prones and store in kitchen shelf. Our house owner did not liked fragrance of fried dry prones because he was a vegetarian, hence most of the time we used to prepare this dish in the late nights in a closed kitchen. So it was a kind of risky activity and a kitchen thriller. Of course that was one of the reason, we found the taste is greater than anything.
Now friends, let us see how this great dish is made.
Ingredients
1. Dry prones cleaned and washed. (Clean by removing head, tail and legs. Let the dry shell remain there. Wash in water 3 times and pat ry on a kitchen napkin)
2. Shallots- 1 handful, cut into small pieces. (Use onions if shallots are not available)
3. Tomatoes- 2 medium size chopped.
4. Green chillys- 3
5. Coriander leaves- 3 stems chopped.
6. Garlic- 8 cloves, chopped fine.
8. Turmeric powder- 1/2 tea spoon
9. Red chilly powder- 1 tea spoon
10. Salt to taste.
11. Veg oil- 2 spoons
