One easiest and quite possibly the tastiest shrimp dish. Takes only 15 minutes to make. Requires only a few ingredients. I recommend cooking with head on shrimp.

I love cooking because its fun. It’s a way to express myself. Its an universal language which everyone understands. Cooking is an art where a doodle can be delicious. There’s such a large spectrum of experimentation, the possibilities are endless and the outcome is edible which is fantastic. Any process which involves all our 5 senses for gratification is bound to deliver joy and pleasure. Food is something to be shared. There is no right or wrong in cooking as long as its delicious. Cooking doesn’t have to be hard. It should be a mix of tradition, convenience and mostly indulgence. And it also should be about what works for you. Its all about experiencing the flavors of the world and enjoying it. It’s a continuous learning process which is never ending but its fun and fulfilling. Cooking is food for my soul. It gives me an opportunity to nurture my family and friends, express my love and care for them. Learning, exploring, creating, connecting with other cultures and people, inner peace, control of ingredients and techniques, making memories, passing on skills, learning about nutrition, participating in traditions and creating new ones, I can keep going- but these are the main reasons why I love cooking.Follow me on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKRcitFRiA5vBw20oGKnQDgInstagram: kiron_ahsan
