Chemeen Ularthiyathu/Shrimp/ Prawns Fry......step-by-step. Recipe

When I think of Chemeen (shrimp).....all my diet resolutions go weak....I can munch on this 24/7 or until I get a stomach upset......Amma always makes this whenever I visit her.....I especially love to bite the "thengakothu" (tiny coconut pieces) in between the chemeen. I guess I passed on my likeness of Chemeen to my son.....and he loves to have it with rice.

This is a specialty of Kottayam especially among the Christian community. First the shrimp is cooked with the masalas, kudam puli, and tiny coconut pieces and then fried on low flame.

It is important to de-vein the shrimp otherwise you can have an allergy attack. So please be careful on that aspect.

Most of the recipes I have posted here are my amma's but this…
