Indian-Spiced Shrimp

Indian-Spiced Shrimp

Atasty shrimp delicacy. The use of spices has been shown to improve circulation and other health concerns. Shrimp is a very low calorie way to get proper protein; choose an eco-friendly shrimp at the market! Ask for it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Curry powder (or a combination of spices: cumin, cayenne, coriander, cardamom)
  • Peeled shrimp

Steps/Methods:

  • Chop one medium onion. Heat enough extra virgin olive oil to coat a saut pan. When the oil is hot (but not smoking) saut the onions, stirring occasionally so they don't brown.
  • When the onions are soft, add enough curry powder (you could also use any combination of spices, i.e. cumin, cayenne, coriander, cardamom, etc.) to lightly dust the onions and stir for about 30 seconds.
  • Add peeled shrimp and cook about one to two minutes per side, depending on size. (If the pan is dry during the cooking process, add some liquid [water, wine, stock, etc.]).
  • Take the shrimp out of the pan while they are still slightly uncooked in the center (cut one to see). Remove the shrimp to a bowl, where they will finish cooking in the two or three minutes it takes them to become cool enough to eat.
  • Add parsley for some color, flavor, and nutrition.

Additional Tips:

  • 1 medium onion
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Curry powder (or a combination of spices: cumin, cayenne, coriander, cardamom)
  • Peeled shrimp
