From Self magazine. Haven't made this, but it sounds great! You could probably almost eliminate the prep time by using frozen, ready-to-cook shrimp and substituting canned tomato puree for fresh.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 inch piece gingerroot
2 garlic cloves
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 medium tomatoes, pureed
1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 1/2 cups cooked rice
coriander sprig
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
2. Grind ginger and garlic into a paste; add paste and remaining spices and tomatoes to pan, simmering 5 minutes.
3. In separate pan, saute shrimp 30 seconds.
4. Add sauce and stir continuously on high heat for 2 or 3 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates.
5. Serve over rice.
6. Garnish with coriander.
