Many of us love fried eggs, and shrimp is also a favourite food for many. Cooked together, the two make a completely different and delicious dish, and you can easily make fried egg with shrimp at home.

If you want to try something new in home cooking, this is a great option. It needs very few ingredients and very little time, so it is a convenient recipe even on a busy day.

First wash the shrimp well and drain the water. Set half the shrimp aside and grind or blend them. Marinate the other half with a little salt and turmeric for 10 minutes; this reduces the raw smell and improves the taste.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, fry the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes until lightly crisp. Do not fry them too long or they may become tough. Take the fried shrimp out into a bowl.

In a large bowl, take the shrimp paste, chopped onion, and half a teaspoon each of chilli powder and turmeric powder. Beat in the eggs and mix well so all the ingredients combine.

Put a little oil in the pan and pour in the egg mixture. Cook slowly on a medium flame. When the egg has set a little, scatter the fried shrimp on top, along with chopped coriander leaves if you like, which add taste and aroma. When the egg is fully cooked, take it off the heat and serve with hot rice.
