Step 1

Rub the cleaned and peeled shrimp with ¼ cup of salt (set aside for 10 minutes)

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp to remove the salt.

In a stainless steel bowl that will fit the ingredients and also fit into a bigger pot for steaming, add in the mustard seeds, water, onion, green chili, turmeric, slat, chili powder and oil, mix well.

Step 4

Add in the shrimp and set aside for another 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a large pot, that is big enough to hold the stainless steel bowl, add water so that it goes up to at least 1/3 the side of the stainless bowl.

Step 6

Bring to a boil, steam covered for about 10 minutes until the shrimp turns translucent.

Step 7

Stir occasionally
