Zesty Spicy Lime Cilantro Shrimp

This dish is delicious, healthy and fast. Win, win, win! I got it out of FOOD Magazine. The only change I'd make is to add more cayenne pepper, but that's just because I like it very spicy.


Ingredients:
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt

3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (or 1 teaspoon paprika)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
chopped cilantro to taste
lime wedges to taste
plain yogurt (optional)

Directions:
  1. Combine salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, cayenne and cinnamon. Sprinkle over shrimp and toss to combine.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high/high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally,  until opaque throughout. Approximately 3 - 5 minutes.
  3. Serve shrimp with cilantro and lime wedges. If desired, serve with a side of plain yogurt. This dish would also be great with naan.
