Notes

Shrimp/Prawn marination:
  • No need to hold marination of prawns/shrimps for a long period. Even when you are in hurry, just add salt and pepper instantly before searing.
Shrimp/Prawn searing:
  • Cook each side of prawns/shrimps for a few seconds to 1 minute. Don’t overcook.
Sauce/Gravy:
  • No need to add extra salt. Please check the gravy before adding any further salt. Soya sauce, tomato sauce, and fish sauce contain salt. Salt has also been added to the marination.
  •  Please do searing of prawns and make gravy in the same pan to enhance flavors.
