Stuffed Eggplant with Shrimps Recipe

Stuffed Eggplant with Shrimp Recipe is a great dish for entertaining as it looks like it took a whole lot of effort, but in reality is an easy recipe  that will create a great impression on your guest.

This recipe is cooked with Vindaloo paste. I wanted to try the vindaloo paste in a different way then the norm. In Goa we make an eggplant pickle which is sweet, tangy and spicy with shrimp and it is so good that its finger licking and so I thought the vindaloo paste would work for this recipe.
