Shrimp and Other Sea Food Recipes.

I have grown eating Shrimp and Prawn . I always try to question the boundaries that are set by the system and hence my experiments with this exquisite eat gave birth to this dish. Its supposed to be Tangy and Spicy , not to forget we should still be eating Shrimps and your spices should not override the aroma of Shrimps.

Shrimp and Coconut in a single dish is ecstasy, this recipe is exactly that. Shrimps are cooked all over the world using different techniques and ingredients. While a lot of cultures believe shrimps should be eaten semi cooked so that you get to taste the real flavor of shrimps, some use a lot of spices in Shrimp to bring out a special taste from it. A lot of Indian Shrimp dishes uses coconut as its base, coconut simply enhances the taste of Shrimps.
This is a simple recipe, very easy to prepare and is a stunner when it comes to taste. I have used Coconut with shrimp and a few simple spice powders in it. Give it a shot and let me know how you like it.

Malai Prawn/Shrimp is one of the most iconic Bengali dishes , it is a thing that is cherished by all Bengalis no matter where you are . I spent most of childhood in the borders of MacMohan line in the north east, the perks of which were easy fresh vegetables and fruits but as they say the coin has two sides and the biggest con of living there was the unavailability of Sea Food like Prawns . So I cherish some sweet memories of visiting Kolkata , my hometown, every year and relishing this curry . I have heard in folklores that the British used to love this dish during the colonial times as well.
I should mention here that my uncle , Mr Shanti Mukherjee , makes the best Malai prawn curry ever, I have never had this dish as good as he makes and trust me I am an avid prawn eater so I have had many versions of this dish.
There are various renditions of this dish, you can find many of them online and this one is my version. I have tried to be true to the Bengali version with some subtle changes, please try this dish at home and let us know. This is a very easy recipe and can be made with a handful of ingredients which makes it one of the easiest among the list of exotic dishes back home.

It was a Saturday evening and a couple of my friends came home, they had got some beer and we were chatting in my Patio.

One of the guys said dude, show us some skills now and cook a starter. I did not have time to marinate anything so made this grilled shrimp. They went gaga about it , not sure it was the beer talking.. 😊 . You guys try the recipe and tell me what it was.

This is a beautifully crafted dish balanced with mouth-watering flavors and eye pleasing plating. I participated in a Bengal based food competition – the ask was to make a Fish/Sea Food recipe and this one won the 1st Prize in the competition. Folks who have tried this one, have loved it too, do try this at your home and let us know. It might look tricky but is actually pretty simple to cook.

I love sea food, anything from clams to scallops to tuna can make my day. This is one of those easy kid friendly recipes I make from time to time. The butter and garlic together with the scallop’s melts in your mouth and explodes a world of flavors in your mouth.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods and I love the Pulao's we can make out of Shrimp as the rice gets flooded with the Aroma from the Shrimp and there is none as tastier as that. This recipe is something I employ when I want to eat some good food without investing a lot of time preparing it. Shrimp cooks very quickly and hence the prerequisite for the Pulao is very easy and quick, I use the Instapot or the Pressure cooker and that makes this recipe a lightening fast one to prepare without compromising on the taste of the dish.

This should be something you should definitely try out during your weekdays , you should not do away with good food just because you had a rough and busy day at work .

Weekday dinners … need something quick and easy??? This one should do the job for you .
A quick whip with some fresh garlic and oreganos , a readymade red sauce and some spices is all you need. Add veggies as you like to make it nutritious.
