3.) cloves - 3
4.) cinnamon - 1/4 inch

7.) Salt - to taste
8.) turmeric - 1/2 tsp
9.) Coconut Powder - 2 - 3 tbspns
10.) Coriander leaves - 3 sprigs
11.) oil - 2 tbspns

Procedure:
Finely chop the onion. Take oil in a pan, when it is hot add the spices. Then add the onions and saute till they become translucent. Now add the ginger garlic paste and turmeric powder and saute till the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste is gone. Then add the shrimp and fry them for 2 to 3 mins.
