Steps

Wash Shrimp very well and drain all the water. Now take the shrimp in a bowl and add spices and ginger garlic paste. Now knead very well with your hand until they are coated well. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.

Now keep a pan under medium heat. When it is hot, add oil. Throw few pieces of curry leaves to see if the oil is hot enough. Now slowly add shrimp one by one.

Fry it on medium flame until they turn brown abt 10 - 15 minutes. You can hear a sizzling sound when it is ready. Garnish with Lemon wedges.
