Keep stirring until the whole thing becomes kind of a pasty mix and
oil
begins to extract from sides.
Add shrimp and mix well.
Reduce flame and cover the pan to let shrimp cook. Do not add

Leave it on low flame with the lid open and stir maybe every 2 mins until all the
water
is evaporated and you have a thick gravy.
When done, add lemon extract and mix well.
Garnish with corriander leaves and serve hot.
