Quick shrimp curry

Shrimp-one of my kids fav.They just love everything i put shrimp in.be it rice,roti or pasta.its so easy for me to feed them with shrimp on the plate.if you are the one who cook frozen shrimps,i wud suggest you to try fresh ones just once and feel the difference.as we used to have frozen ones all the time(coz its ready to cook),once my hubby bought fresh ones from the chinese store and i was like-oh why did you bring these,its such a pain to clean it.we did the cleaning part together and when i cook it-you cant believe how happy was i to taste it.it made such a big difference and i said to my dh these are like malli puvvu (jasmine flowers),so soft  it melted  in my mouth.my hubby started laughing-wat a comparision malli puvvu?? it was really worth it.but i still  hate cleaning it....  :)



So try this recipe with frozen ones preferably small shrimps or fresh ones.
