Shrimps In Spicy Orange Sauce

I have just started eating sea food and was wondering, what took me so long. I have been born and brought up in northern part of the country, where sea food was rare to get. We ate fresh water fishes and that too not on a regular basis. I think that was the reason that though I am a die heart non vegetarian, I had some inhibition for sea food.

Then one day, I gathered all the courage and announced that I want to eat prawns today. And my husband very gingerly took me to a fancy place for my very first encounter with these beauties. Now I have started cooking shrimps and prawns at home, and like to experiment with them. So here is what I did with my batch.
