1. In a processor, blend garlic, ginger, fresh red chilies, turmeric, honey and lime juice into a smooth paste. 
2.  In a non-stick pan heat two tablespoons of oil.  Add dried red chilies and fry till dark
3. Add spice paste; fry for another couple of minutes until the oil starts to separate from the spices. 
4. Transfer shrimp to the pan, add salt and pepper and stir continuously to brown on high heat for about two to three minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and add green peas, red bell pepper and green onions; stir for five minutes or so until vegetables are cooked. Do not overcook shrimp, or else it will become rubbery.
