Spicy Shrimp Curry
Shrimp or prawn curry is one of the most popular south India non-vegetarian dishes. I’ve learnt this recipe from aspecial person in my family. Her shrimp curry has to be the tastiest shrimp I’ve had. It goes very well chapathi, sambar rice and rasam. You can make this in different consistencies depending on your taste.
You could make it as a gravy so it goes well with chapathi or naan or you could make it as a dry dish by leaving it in low heat for a long time. Have fun cooking this spicy shrimp curry and let me know if you try this recipe.
