This easy but exotic tasting recipe is packed with flavor. Enjoy the heat of the dish without the heat of the kitchen. I like to think this fast food processor take on Indian cuisine is Dehlicious.

Ingredients

Serves:

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1 1-inch piece peeled ginger, about the thickness of a thumb, quartered

1 medium onion, cut into chunks

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon tomato paste

3/4 cup water

1 1/2 pound cleaned medium or larger shrimp

lemon wedges

cilantro leaves

Accompaniment: flat bread like Naan or Pita or white rice

Directions

Drop garlic and ginger through feed tube of a food processor with motor running and process until finely chopped. Add onion and pulse until chopped.

Cook onion mixture in oil in a heavy12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just golden, about 5 minutes. Add spices and salt and cook, stirring, 1 minute longer.

Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Then stir in water and bring to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook, covered, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lemon wedges and flatbread or over rice.
