Things you need:
 

To cook shrimp recipes you obviously need some utensils like a cooking pot, tongs and a sharp knife, the shrimp, cooking oil, water, ingredients, spices, salt and lemon juice depending on the dish’s requirement.

First off you need to defrost the shrimp. To do this take some water in a pot and put the shrimp in it for about 15 to 20 minutes and allow it to defrost.

After the shrimp gets defrosted, start peeling it. Start peeling the shell, skin and legs from the ventral side up to the ends. Take the tail of the shrimp off too. Put all the removed shell in a separate container and dispose it, unless it may spread the bad smell throughout your kitchen.

Now about the cooking – If your intention is to retain its taste and flavor, you’ve got to add lemon juice to it. Cut 2 to 3 fresh lemons to get 4-5 spoons of juice, and add the juice to the peeled shrimp. Aside from that, add some salt and turmeric powder, and mix the shrimp well to bring in the attractive yellowish color.

Frozen shrimp is believed to be most delicious when it is fried with spices. So the onion, garlic and ginger pastes serve as the main ingredients for shrimp dishes, however, milk and curd are also used for more flavor.

As the oil is heated put the shrimp in the pan and fry it for about 10 minutes till it turns to reddish-brown. You can add the spices to it directly or can prepare the spices separately in another pan. While preparing the spices on the heat you could smell an attractive aroma out of it.
