Shrimp Capsicum Appetizer

This is the first time I am making shrimp at home ....... although Siddharth is not a great fan of shrimp but I really like them ...... I am trying my hand at different things ...... this is one of my experiments :) .......... since I was bringing shrimps for the first time I brought frozen semi-cooked shrimps because I was not sure how much will we have and I did not want them to go waste ...... next time I am going to get fresh shrimps ......

Recently we got sambal oelek at home and have been using it in every recipe we can ..... this dish is adapted from Sig's Sambal Shrimp recipe. Thanks Sig for the recipe :)
