Instructions
0 In a medium mixing bowl, combine desiccated coconut, ginger, garlic, chili powder, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, salt and pepper. 1 Using a paper towel, pat the shrimp dry and add it to the bowl. Toss to coat the spice mixture very well on all sides. 2 Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet (or non-stick) at medium high heat. Place the masala coated shrimp in a single layer in the skillet, without crowding the pan. 3 Cook about [timer minutes=1]1 minute[/timer] on each side until slightly curled and just opaque, turning them with tongs. The shrimp should still be tender and juicy. 5 Tip: Do not over cook the shrimp or they will turn rubbery. Total cooking time may vary from [timer minutes=2]2 to 4 minutes[/timer]. Cast iron skillet retains heat, so cooking time may be a bit more for regular non-stick pan. 4 Transfer immediately to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro, chopped green onions and lemon juice. Extra lemon wedges on the side.View original recipe
