Instructions

  1. Prep: Pat shrimp dry; lightly salt. Slice onion and peppers; mince garlic; grate ginger.
  2. Cook base: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion with a pinch of salt; cook 6–7 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Add garlic + ginger; cook 30 seconds.
  3. Spice: Add cumin, coriander, turmeric (and cayenne if you want). Stir 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Simmer: Add peppers and 3/4 cup broth. Simmer 5 minutes until peppers soften slightly.
  5. Add shrimp: Add shrimp and cook 2–4 minutes, stirring, until just pink and cooked through.
  6. Finish: Turn off heat. Stir in garam masala and lemon juice. If using yogurt, temper it first (mix with a spoonful of hot sauce), then stir in off heat; or stir in coconut milk and warm gently (don’t boil hard).
  7. Serve: Spoon into bowls with lemon wedges. Great with rice/naan if you have it.

Cook time: 25–35 min

Estimated cost: Medium (seafood is the main cost)

Health notes: Lean protein; moderate calories depending on whether you add coconut milk. Use broth + yogurt for a lighter version.

Drink pairing: Off-dry Riesling or a crisp pilsner; avoid heavy oaky whites with the spices.
