    Bhapa Chingri is a great main course. Bhapa means steamed in Bangladesh and this shrimp recipe is simple to make and delicious. It calls for mustard oil, which may be difficult to find but adds a very unique flavor to the dish. If you can’t find it, you can use olive oil instead. A great main dish should be served with piping hot rice.
