1/2 pound shrimp, shelled & deveined

1/4 cup flour
Salt and Black pepper
1 Tsp chili powder
1 Tsp garlic powder
1 Tsp coriander powder
1 Tsp ginger powder
1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, beaten
1/2 bag of bread crumbs
enough oil to cover the bottom of pan


Directions :


Here's how i did it. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Dredge all the shrimp in the flour mixture. Wet the shrimp in the egg-water. Roll the shrimp, coating evenly, in the bread crumbs. Set aside on large plate. Repeat.


Using a fry pan or cast iron skillet, cover the bottom of the pan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp on each side until crust in golden brown, up to a minute on each side. It doesn't take long at all to cook the shrimp, so don't walk away from the pan.

Egyptian Lentil Soup




A yummy soup that uses my favorite lentil. We call it in egypt " Shorbat Ads" ✿◕‿◕✿.

Ingredients:


5 cups vegetable broth or 5 cups water
1 cup dried red lentils
2 cups chopped onions
8 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro(optional)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper


Directions:


Add the first 5 ingredients to a large pot; cover and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are tender.

Take pot from stove burner and set aside.

In a small saucepan, add the oil; warm over low heat until the oil is hot but not smoking.

Add in the cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir constantly for for 2-3 minutes or until the cumin has released its fragrance (be careful not to scorch the spices).

Set spice mixture aside for 1 minute to cool.

Stir spice mixture into the lentil mixture; add cilantro, stir to combine.

You can puree the soup, in batches, in a blender OR you can use an immersion blender and blend to desired texture (I like to leave it a little chunky).
