can we put big onions instead of small if so how many numbers and no need to add ginger ?
Hi Divya, nice and easy recipe. I haven't cooked shrimp before. I heard that if shrimp is not cooked properly, it might either be under-cooked(if cooked for less time) or become rubber-like (if cooked for more time). Is there any specific time limit we need to cook the shrimps for it to be perfect? Also is it better to buy those already cooked shrimps or fresh shrimps for your recipe?
Hi manju, thanks …it is very easy to cook shrimps….yeah as u said if it is over cooked it becomes rubber, when u try this recipe u will find the difference. when the oil leaves out u can switch off the flame. and please buy the fresh ones to try out this recipe.
