Spicy Shrimp with Gin­ger and Turmeric

(serves 2)

1 dozen large tiger shrimp, thawed from frozen and shelled
2 tbsps peanut oil
1 large knob gin­ger, peeled and minced
5 cloves gar­lic, minced
1 tsp turmeric
scant sprin­kle ground cumin
sea salt and ground black pep­per
1 medium white onion, halved and sliced through
2 small red chill­ies, minced
driz­zle sesame oil
juice of 1 lime

1 soup­spoon­ful chilli gar­lic sauce (from Chi­nese gro­cery)
good splash Japan­ese mirin
2 tbsps seri­ously good soy sauce

steamed bas­mati rice

sauteed ten­der­stem broc­col­ini, as much as you can eat
peanut oil and soy sauce

Thaw and thor­oughly drain your shrimp. Heat the peanut oil and throw in the shrimp, gin­ger, gar­lic, turmeric, cumin salt and pep­per, and onion and heat till shrimps turn pink. Driz­zle with sesame oil and lime juice. Take off heat and cover.

Mean­while, steam your rice and set your broc­col­ini on to saute. As these two are fin­ish­ing, uncover the shrimp, add the chilli sauce, mirin and soy, and heat HIGH. Serve all together with an empty plate for the shells.
