Quick-fried Shrimp


I saw this recipe in a book and found the recipe to be interesting... We decided to try it out for a pot luck get together and every one loved it.. Its a very easy recipe and just took few moments for us to cook this wonderful appetizer.

Ingredients:
Cooked and peeled shrimp - 1 pound
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric pwd - 1 tsp
Black mustard seeds - 2 tsp
Ghee or butter - 4 tbsp
Coconut milk - 1/2 cup
Salt and pepper - as per taste
Chopped fresh coriander
Method:

Even though the shrimp were de-veined, I prefer to clean the shrimp and also look through it to see if any shrimp has any vein in it.
Pat dry the shrimp
Put ginger garlic paste, chilli pwd, turmeric pwd, mustard seeds in a bowl.
Heat wok until hot and add ghee or butter and swirl it around until foaming.
Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry till the water released evaporates. Over cooked shrimp taste rubbery, so make sure u don't over cook it. If little bit water is left, let it be.
Add coconut milk and let it simmer for some more time.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle coriander.
And you have just finished making a fabulous finger food :)
