Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup Major Grey's chutney
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and chopped
2 fresh serrano or jalapeno chilies, seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves)
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest (about 1 lime)
2 pounds medium shrimp (about 50), shelled and deveined
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
6 cups packed tender watercress sprigs, washed well and spun dry
1 cup fresh coriander sprigs, washed well and spun dry
3 red bell peppers, cut into julienne strips
2 firm-ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into julienne strips

Steps:

  • Make dressing: Force chutney through a sieve into a bowl and whisk in lime juice, oil, cayenne, and salt to taste. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring dressing to room temperature before using.
  • Make marinade: In a large non-stick skillet dry-roast paprika, cumin, and coriander seeds over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and several shades darker, about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn them, and transfer to a bowl. Cool spices and stir in remaining marinade ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pat shrimp dry and add to marinade, stirring to coat well. Marinate shrimp at room temperature 15 minutes. Alternatively, shrimp may be marinated, covered and chilled, up to 1 day. In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and saute shrimp in batches, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer shrimp with tongs to paper towels to drain and cool slightly. In a large bowl gently toss together shrimp, watercress, coriander sprigs, bell peppers mangoes and dressing.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this dish. The marinade was flavorful without being too hot.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked but the mango salad was great.

This dish was an absolute delight! The shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the mango salad was the perfect complement. I especially loved the blend of spices in the tandoori marinade.
