Shrimps looks very spciy and inviting...yeah' all I need is steamed rice to go with this. Hmmm, now I really need to shop for 'uncooked fresh shrimps'...bit hard in area, but will figure it out...

BTW, I used just plain basmati rice' I really don't pay attention to the brands so much, dear...I am living in a country side' so no Indian grocery stores nearby, I have limited choice' and I buy anything that is available here:)
