Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound large shrimp
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 3-inch piece fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
8 cardamom pods
2 cups unsalted tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala (a spice blend available at Indian groceries and specialty-food stores)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped mint or cilantro
12 sprigs cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving shells and leaving tails intact. Cover; refrigerate.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add shrimp shells, curry, lemongrass, ginger, and cardamom. Cook, stirring often, until shells are pink and mixture is very aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water, tomato juice, and salt. Raise heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off scum as necessary, about 1 hour.
  • Combine the yogurt, cucumber, garam masala, lemon juice, and chopped mint or cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate.
  • Strain stock, pressing on solids, into a clean medium saucepan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat so stock is at a bare simmer. Add shrimp; poach, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a dish; cover with foil. Raise heat to medium high; simmer liquid until it is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over shrimp; garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with reserved cucumber relish.
