A quick and easy shrimp recipe

CHILLI SHRIMPS

Another one for the seafood lovers..SHRIMPS...Did you know they could dance...it is said that a species called cleaner shrimps wave their white antennae and do a little dance to attract fish. Well that was a fun fact about shrimps.

Let us prepare a fuss free shrimp recipe. And yes always keep in mind that it is very important to not overcook the shrimps because if they are overcooked, they turn rubbery, when properly cooked the exterior is pinkish in colour and the flesh is little white, but not bright white which indicates that they are overcooked.
