Introduction
This was a firm favourite for the School Picnics my daughters went to.Their friends and teachers all loved this and I handed out the recipe ever so often.This is a meal in itself with a light fresh Salad added to it.Substitute Vegetables like Cauliflower,Carrots,French Beans,Ivy Gourd,Bell Peppers(any colour or all colours) and Green Peas for the Shrimp in the Vegetarian version.
