Prawn Gravy

Prawn Gravy

One of my favourite seafoods.I long for the fresh prawns that we get in india.So I get raw shrimp,not so big,not so small..just the right size gives the right taste for a gravy.My husband never liked the crunchiness of the prawns but he loves it if it is soft.I thought of quit making prawn until oneday an idea dawned on me and its working perfect everytime...Marinate the shrimp in lemon juice...Now I'm very close to the prawn gravy in india though I cannot beat it...
