Curry Leaves Fragrance Buttered Shrimps


This is one yummy dish and I personally prefer the shrimps prepared this way. The pairing of butter and curry powder and the curry leaves blends really well with the shrimps and the aroma that filled the air while cooking this dish brought my Piggies to the kitchen with the ooos and the arrrrs :)))

Btw this is also one dish that will not stop me from chomping the shrimps down in quantities. The cutest part was the counting of the numbers of shrimps’ tails on my plates throughout dinner by my Piggies :0 ;0 . Reason being shrimps are high in cholesterol and not good for my age to be taken in large quantity :P
