Notes

You can use fresh frozen shrimps instead of fresh, just defrost them before use 
When you have cleaned the shrimps and are left with head and shells, heat up a pan, add some olive oil and fry the head and shells for a few minutes. Then add water to cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Strain it and use it as a part of the added water, doing this will add much more flavour to the dish
