Spicy Shrimp stir-fry with shredded coconut |
Larger shrimps are more expensive than smaller ones. All shrimps will have be shelled and deveined before cooking. Shelling and deveining small shrimps is a time consuming chore. Hence people avoid small shrimps. Smaller shrimps taste better than larger variety. Shelled and deveined prawns are found in super market shelves. These prawns are processed by machine.
Farmed prawns are cheaper than naturally grown prawns. Prawns are farmed in clear water or brackish water.
Today’s recipe calls for shredded shrimps. So I bought cleaned medium sized shrimps. You can also use dried shrimps. You should soak the dry shrimps in hot water for 15 minutes. The coconut in this recipe greatly enhances the taste of the prawns.
