SPICY SHRIMP MASALA
Black pepper, garam masala, Thai green chiles and Kashmiri red chile powder make this shrimp masala a multi-layered delight of spices - fiery and smoldering simultaneously - while lemon juice and cilantro add brightness and bring some relief. In coastal cities of South Asia like Karachi and states like Goa, this preparation is typical and perfectly suited for crunchy, sweet shrimp. That such complexity comes together in 30 minutes feels like a small miracle.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Prepare all ingredients and necessary equipment before starting to cook to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
- Fresh ingredients: Use the freshest shrimp, corn, and basil available for optimal flavor and texture.
- Properly devein and clean shrimp: Remove the shrimp's vein (the dark line running along the back) and rinse them thoroughly to ensure they are free of any impurities.
- Cook shrimp just until opaque: Overcooking shrimp can make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque (about 2-3 minutes) to maintain their tender texture.
- Grill corn: Grilling corn enhances its natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor. Alternatively, you can boil or roast the corn if grilling is not an option.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich, fruity flavor to the dish. Choose a high-quality oil that is flavorful and has a low acidity level.
- Season to taste: Adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice to your preference to create a well-balanced flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, sprinkle the dish with fresh basil or parsley to add a pop of color and enhance the overall flavor.
