Directions

  1. First, fry the fish scales in a dry pan or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. This will allow their characteristic scent to be released and make it easier to remove impurities. ≈ 3 min
  3. The cleaned shrimp should be placed in a container and covered with boiling water.
  4. After soaking for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly several times in clean water, rubbing with your hands.
  5. This will allow for the complete removal of sand or dirt from the shrimp’s skin. ≈ 3 min
  6. Next, drain the water. ≈ 2 min
  7. Heat the oil paint in a pot over the stove.
  8. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and chopped garlic.
  9. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook over medium heat until they are lightly browned.
  10. Next, in a separate bowl, thoroughly mix together the turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and salt to your liking.
  11. Add a small amount of water to prevent the spices from burning. ≈ 3 min
  12. Once the spices have been added and the oil paint begins to thicken, add the diced tomatoes. ≈ 3 min
  13. Let it simmer until the tomatoes are tender and well combined with the spices.
  14. Next, add the cleaned shrimp to a pan.
  15. Thoroughly mix the shrimp with the spices, stirring constantly. ≈ 4 min
  16. Cover the shrimp with a lid and cook them over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  17. Once seasoned, add 1 cup of hot water to cook the shrimp (shrimp don’t require much liquid).
  18. Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the fresh chili peppers, sliced thinly.
  19. Cover and let simmer over medium heat for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
  20. Once the sauce has thickened and the reddish oil from the spices covers the surface, sprinkle it with chopped parsley.
  21. Stir the mixture in the pot for another 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
