Shrimp cooked in pumpkin seeds is delicious.Pumpkin and its seeds make any dish heavenly. My mother loves the fish dish with pumpkin seeds. So, I thought why not try to make shrimp dish with pumpkin seed. It was very delicious and easy to make. But this isn't food to eat quickly while standing up - this is worth taking a seat to linger over. The result is a rich and surprisingly flavorful sauce with just a tinge of heat.
It was creamy but extremely light.
