INDIAN-SPICED SHRIMP

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbs. coriander seeds
2 tsp. cumin seeds
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried red chile flakes
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 Tbs. minced garlic
3 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1-1/2 lb. jumbo shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined
2 Tbs. canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice; plus 4 lime wedges for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a small, heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and chile flakes and cook, shaking the pan constantly, until the spices are very fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Grind to a fine powder in a spice grinder. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, shrimp, and spice powder and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 and up to 30 minutes. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and the marinade and cook, stirring and shaking the pan, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, adding 1 Tbs. water at a time if necessary to keep the marinade from scorching. Remove from the heat and add the cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with the lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for an elegant presentation. Removing the veins ensures a clean and flavorful bite.
  • Make a Flavorful Marinade: Combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and salt in a bowl. This aromatic mixture will infuse the shrimp with tantalizing Indian spices.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be vigilant to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp becomes tough and rubbery, losing its delicate texture and flavor.
  • Sizzle in Hot Oil: Heat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the marinated shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn opaque and pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Garnish for Vibrance: Before serving, sprinkle chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice over the cooked shrimp. This final touch adds a burst of freshness and color, enhancing the overall appeal of the dish.
