Andhra Shrimp Stir Fry
Andhra Shrimp Stir Fry
With the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh being on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, their cuisine uses an abundance of seafood. This Andhran shrimp stir fry is quite simple to prepare and takes only 20 minutes to make. The stir fry uses shallots instead of white onions, giving it a sweeter flavor. While most Andhran cuisine is spicy, this one is fairly mild. Add in an extra green chili if you want it to be spicier.
