Hi Divya, nice and easy
Hi Divya, nice and easy recipe. I haven't cooked shrimp before. I heard that if shrimp is not cooked properly, it might either be under-cooked(if cooked for less time) or become rubber-like (if cooked for more time). Is there any specific time limit we need to cook the shrimps for it to be perfect? Also is it better to buy those already cooked shrimps or fresh shrimps for your recipe?
