I served this with Mediterranean Cous Cous and Mediterranean Kale.
This makes a marvelous meal (for about 3 people, when served with side dishes)
Spiced Curry Shrimp
Ingredients:
2 lbs Medium Frozen Shrimp, deveined
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Cumin
1 tsp Curry
1 1/2 tsp paprika
3 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cloves minced Garlic
1/2 cup water
lemon juice
crapload of chopped up cilantro
Directions:
- Heat the olive oil and cayenne, cumin, and paprika in a skillet big enough to fit all deez shrimps. I had the heat on Med.
- When it heats up, add the shrimps (you can pull off the tails if you like, or leave them on- but this dish is pretty messy to have to pull them off by hand. However, I've heard leaving them on adds a flavor... so it's up to you) and the garlic and stir it for a few minutes.
- Add a couple of squirts of lemon juice. Stir for a minute or so-just go by how your shrimp are looking. You don't want them getting over done and rubbery.
- Then add in the water.
- Now turn the heat up to 6-7 (Med-High) and stir it and let it bubble rapidly until most of the liquid has evaporated away. It only took maybe 5 minutes or so. I also added in a little more cumin and a lot more cayenne since I wanted them spicy! I tasted a couple as i went along...
- When most of the liquid is gone, add in the chopped cilantro and toss it all together.
- You can also use some cilantro as a garnish.
Time that it took me to begin preparing the entire meal until it was served: 1 hour.
