Garlic Sautéed Shrimp – Hunger Action Week 2010

We are participating in the Hunger Challenge this year also, the details of which can be found on Mirch Masala. Yesterday, as part of one of our Hunger Action Week’s dinner, I made a Thai inspired dinner – Jasmine Rice, Yellow Curry, Garlic Sautéed Shrimp and Bananas in Coconut Cream for dessert. The garlic sautéed shrimp recipe is one of the most easiest ones that I have ever come across and from what AJ says its as delicious too.

There were only two lamb or rather mutton dishes in the book – one was this pepper fry recipe and the other a kofta recipe with ground meat. The pepper fry recipe looked pretty simple and a quick check in my refrigerator and pantry ensured that I had everything I needed.
