Here is a very simple recipe for fried shrimp. In spite of its simplicity, it is still a very tasty dish as evidenced by how both my kids ate the shrimp.

Marinate the shrimp in ginger-garlic paste, fish masala, salt, lime juice and 1/2 tsp oil. Keep aside for 1 hr. Heat the 2 tbsp oil and shallow fry the shrimp until they curl up and/or turn pink on you. Goes well with rice or as an appetizer.
