I love shrimps because a lot of recipes can be done using them. When cooked right, they are divine. I tried out this recipe last Sunday and had a blast with my family. The good thing with this recipe is that it is simple to make and hardly requires any time. The dish is extremely high on protein and makes for an excellent snack that you can munch on different times of the day. My kids love this dish for its taste. Though a number of recipes can be tried using shrimps as the main ingredient, this is one among the best.
