Looks and sounds divine. Never think of shrimp and lentil being cooked together. This recipe sounds like a winning dish. Will have to give it a try!

I just tested the combination of lentil and shrimp, and it seemed to be very interesting. I think it's a good idea to cook something like Shrimp and Lentil Sauce with Vegetables over Rice or Noodles. A recipe to think it over. I would like you to do it if you want. It will be a killer recipe. :)
