SPICY SHRIMP MASALA



Spicy Shrimp Masala image

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.

SPICED INDIAN SHRIMP



Spiced Indian Shrimp image

Transform marinara into an Indian-style simmer sauce for shrimp with the help of garam masala, fresh ginger, and scallions. Serve atop steamed couscous for a quick yet satisfying weeknight dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons safflower oil or ghee
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups Marinara or store-bought marinara
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Steamed couscous or long-grain rice, for serving
Thinly sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Season shrimp with salt and pepper; sprinkle with garam masala. Add to skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until opaque, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add onion and ginger; cook, stirring, until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add marinara; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream and shrimp with any accumulated juices. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over couscous, topped with scallions.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh and high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking shrimp, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy texture.
  • Cook the shrimp until it's opaque: The best way to tell if shrimp is cooked is to look at its color. Shrimp should be cooked until it's opaque and pink in color. If the shrimp is still translucent, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp is tough and chewy. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or it will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
