Sauteed Shrimps with Green Chili and Asian Herbs (Tumis Udang Cabe Hijau)

Last night we bought shrimps from Von's store. This lunch i decide to cook the shrimp and make this dish.

You can find the Asian Herbs at Thai Store or Indonesian store, because they have the same ingredients for cooking.

I serve with steamed black rice and salad mix.

Here, I will share the recipe with you and maybe give you some ideas.
