I love this recipe! Left out the cilantro b/c I'm not a fan.... I love the tanginess of the lime and the sweetness of the garam masala. I used a frozen pepper mix. Very easy to make and amazingly tasty! Will definitely make again.
Shrimp Garam Masala
Find the peppery Indian spice blend garam masala in the spice aisle of large grocery stores. Try it on meat, poultry, broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes. If you can't find garam masala, substitute equal parts ground cumin, pepper, cloves, and nutmeg. Ladle over basmati rice.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup shrimp mixture and 1 lime wedge)
