Recipe Notes

Here's how to clean shrimp: 

  • Rinse the shrimp under cold water.
  • If you bought shrimp with heads on, carefully remove the head (some recipes do call for shrimp with heads on).
  • Carefully remove the legs.
  • Remove the shell.
  • You can remove the tail now or leave it on. That is based on personal preference and the recipe you are making.
  • Carefully run a sharp knife just on the surface of the back and rinse out the vein. 

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until they cook down and get thick, about 10 minutes. 
  2. Add the garlic paste, ginger, jalapeno, coriander, turmeric, crushed red pepper flakes and cumin. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the water is almost evaporated.
  3. Add the shrimp about cook about 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through.
