    JUMP TO RECIPE


    Shrimp Chili FryGoa is a state on the southwestern coast of India. It’s known for its Portuguese colonial history, lovely beaches, easy-going vibe, and spicy seafood and meat dishes. I am not Goan but I married a Goan – those Goans are a fun bunch. They love to have a good time, and enjoy good food. This is my husband’s recipe. He usually makes it when we have friends over for Indian food. It can be made more or less spicy by changing the quantity of cayenne pepper.
