Shrimp in spicy tomato sauce!


To me shrimp definitely is a seafood delicacy. It has a taste of its own and when mixed with spices the taste is just so well enhanced. It is very easy and quick to cook shrimps and with the availability of cooked shrimps, it cuts the cooking time to half. This is a very easy and quick cooked shrimp recipe that I tried last week.

You will need:

1 pound cooked shrimp (remove the shell off tail)
1 medium size chopped onion
2 finely chopped small green chilli
4 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
Salt to taste
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
2 tsp Texas Pete sauce
Finely chopped parsley


Method:

First marinate the cooked shrimp in a container with chilli powder,turmeric powder, salt, coriander powder. Keep aside for 15 minutes.

Heat the oil in pan and shallow fry the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes and strain it and keep it aside.

In the same pan, saute the onions, garlic and green chilli until the onions turn golden brown. To this add the tomato sauce and Texas Pete sauce and mix well. In the end add the shallow fried shrimp and mix well. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Shrimp is ready to be relished!!!! It can be served as a side dish with rice.
