Preparation:  

Heat a pan and add marinated shrimp and little oil and cook until water is evaporated or for 7-8 mins ( if you feel there is water left, throw away excess water)

Method:

• Heat oil in a kadai, splutter cumin seeds and fry till they sizzled
• Add sliced onion, curry leaves, green chili and ginger garlic paste and saute over medium high flame until it turns brown and crisp. Frying to the onion to a crispy texture is the key to the recipe.
• Now add in the marinated and cooked shrimp and saute over high flame for 5 mins and close the lid and cook on medium heat for 10 mins until it roasts well turning the masala dark with oil oozing. You may add salt at this stage. It will eventually turn thick and dry as you stir fry
