Tangy Shrimp – Khatta Meetha Prawn!!!
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.
