Title: Tiger Shrimp wtih Vegs
Post by: Gobi King on December 03, 2018, 06:45:57 PM
Shrimps are my fav'st thing to eat.
While out at Aldi getting groceries, I saw they were selling tiger shrimps. I picked up a bag and couple of bags of frozen mixed vegetables.

Tiger Shrimp with Vegetables.

Ingredients
1. Tiger shrimps - 12 count
2. Frozen vegetables 24 oz
3. Onion - 1 large
4. Garlic - Couple of cloves
5. Turmeric, salt, ginger paste, chili powder and salt
6. Tomatoes


Dice up onions with garlic and lightly brown in oil.
Add a little water and spices and mix together.
Then throw in the tomatoes and mix again.
Then throw in shrimps and mix everything up at high heat. Throw in vegetables and mix again,
Add few green chilis and let it simmer and lid on and turn heat off when shrimp looks cooked.

That looks great, but wouldn't one typically shell them before cooking?

That is the best part of shrimps in my books, I love chewing the shell, when I was younger, my mother would clean the back vein and cook and entire shrimp as in the pic, the juices and flavor from the shell is "awesome" I mean it totally different than peeled shrimp.

Yep!  I totally agree.  I also like them cooked with guajillo peppers and garlic.  Dominick

Thanks guys,
I found tiger shrimps with with the tentacles and claws and it all at the Vietnamese grocery store, I think they imported from Thailand.
I am going to give it a shot next time I am there.
