When I tried this recipe first, it turned out to be the yummiest curry recipe. Although, there are many versions of prawn curry like Malabari, Kerla style, Malvani. But this Goan prawn curry that we are talking about is altogether a different deal. I have used tamarind for this curry but you may replace it with kokum for a traditional flavour.

It is a tangy spicy curry made using shrimps, a variety of spices, and coconut milk. This lip smacking prawn curry is a staple in every Goan household. Goes best with plain rice and a side of papad or pickle. It is a must try dish from coastal land.
