Andhra royyala vepudu/Andhra style Prawns(Shrimp) fry

This being one of my favorite foods and me being a very picky eater growing up, my mom used to give me more of this curry than my brother. Once I grew up, I was told if you leave your favorite food item in the name of god, your wish will come true.

Been 13 years I gave up Shrimp but still make the curry for hubby dear because this happens to be his favorite too.
