Yield Serves 6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 20

For dressing
1/2 cup Major Grey's chutney
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cayenne
For tandoori marinade
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
4 garlic cloves, crushed
a 1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and chopped
2 fresh serrano or jalapeño 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 large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté shrimp in batches, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp as sautéed 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.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The mango salad is sweet and tangy, and it helps to offset the flavor of the shrimp.
