I just realized that I haven’t made a meal with shrimps in such a long time!! I love shrimps though, I guess I just don’t find frozen shrimps too appetizing…

They say that indian food is better than sex…I don’t know about that but I definitely think that it is Crack’s cousin because I would eat indian food EVERYDAY!

Anyways!

I think I made this recipe for the first time when I was 18!! I have been making it since the because it is DELICIOUS people!!!

When you make it, make sure you use raw shrimps, because if you don’t, they get really chewy and…ya know…chewy shrimps are not so great!

Enjoy 🙂
