Spicy Shrimp
Description
This was featured in a couple of magazines but is originally from Jenny Rosenstrach’s, ‘Dinner: A Love Story’. Below is the recipe for a small jar of spice which should be good for a few meals, and then your dinner is literally 5 minutes from start to table. We enjoyed these with Tzatziki Sauce (but plain yogurt would also be good), warm naan bread (pita would be a tasty substitute) and a big green salad. These are also brilliant as the chosen protein for a big dinner salad – enjoy!
Ingredients
Spice Mix
6 t. sea salt
4 t. EACH smoked paprika, cumin, curry powder (I use Madras)
1 t. cinnamon AND 1/2 t. cayenne
The Rest
1 to 2 lbs. of raw, peeled shrimp – you can decide tail on or off
1 to 2 T. butter for cooking
Instructions
Shake together the spices in a small jar and then toss the shrimp in a tablespoon or so of the spice mix. Heat up your skillet, add a bit of butter, and then saute the shrimp – sprinkling with more spice as desired – until the shrimp are a perfect pink. Dish up and dive in!
