Notes
- ( Be careful while you add Salt cos Sauce is having lot of salt . If you don’t have Creole Seasoning you can make it at home : 1/2tsp each Salt ,Garlic Powder & Paprika ; & a pinch each dried Thyme , ground Cumin & Cayenne Pepper .)
Shiny careful about 1 more thing ………….here we r using electric coil for cooking …………after turning it off also coil will take some time to cool down …………..so that’s why i am turning off the gas even before the rice is not cooked …………….
Yes it is getting steam cooked………… or you can cook the shrimp before by adding little salt & try to reserve the liquid …………you can combine that with the water you cook the rice .
Nice receipe Suby, would definitely like to give a try. I have a doubt – How will the shrimps get cooked if the gas is turned off soon after covering it the contents in the pan with a lid?Is the shrimps going to be steam cooked?
