Shrimps or Small Prawns are very flavourful, and they have such beautiful aroma which can add delicious flavour to any dish. Shrimps are one of my all-time favourites, and so I am very experimental with prawns. The main ingredients of these recipes are pink lentil or masoor dal and small prawns or shrimps. You can also try other recipes with prawn-like, crispy prawn balls and many more.
