5 minute shrimp express

I buy frozen shrimp packets from Wal-mart which costs only around 2$. It is more than enough for 4 people. The packet shrimp comes cleaned and cooked and it is dirt cheap. So you can just make a quick curry on those lazy days or on a guest burst.

Heat Olive Oil in a flat saucepan, splutter mustard seeds,curry leaves (add lots since shrimp is high in cholesterol, curry leaves will neutralize the effect), ginger (3 tsp) and garlic (3 tsp) crushed, 3 greenchillies split, One big Onion diced, three small tomatoes diced.

Saute everything in that order and then add the shrimp. Don't cover and cook, just saute the shrimp and add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 2 tsp chilli powder and 1 tsp pepper powder fresh after adding the shrimp. Saute on high flame for one minute or so until the shrimp is coated with everything and thats all. Add salt.

It is such a tasty dish in just 5 minutes. Serve with rice or rotis. (My guests always think, I buy expensive fresh shrimp just for them. ;-) )(The shrimp is already cooked, so no need to cook them again. It will turn hard. You need not defrost the packet also,you can directly put the frozen shrimp on to the saute pan.)
