  • You can use the Shrimp with the tail on or off. I prefer using them dressed.
  • Marinate Shrimp with ½ Tsp. Salt, 1 Tsp. Black Pepper Powder and 2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice.
  • Keep the Shrimp marinated for 10 minutes.
  • Chop the Spinach roughly.
  • Chop Onion as well.
  • Now melt the butter in a pan.
  • Add Shrimp and fry for a minute.
  • Now add Chopped Onion.
  • Cook on high flame for 2 minutes.
  • The Shrimp as well as the Onion will release a lot of moisture by this time and both will turn pink.
  • Now add the remaining Garlic Powder and also the Garlic Paste and cook for 3 minutes after mixing everything.
  • Now strain the prawns onto a plate.
  • Add chopped Spinach and adjust the spices.
  • Cover with a lid and cook till the Spinach soften.
  • This will take around 8 minutes.
  • Now add the Cream after mixing it with a spoon.
  • If needed add ¼ cup water to dilute the mixture.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the fried Shrimp.
  • Now add Parsley as well as thyme and mix.
  • Cook on high flame for 2 minutes and switch the flame off.

Notes

  • Fresh cream can be replaced with coconut milk as a non-dairy option.
  • If using unsalted butter, adjust the salt accordingly.
