Mangalore Fried Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) turmeric
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) dry mustard
• 2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
• 4 tsp (20 mL) canola oil
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin seeds or black mustard seeds
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped green onion
• Salt

Directions

1. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry on paper towels. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with the cayenne, turmeric, mustard and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the spices. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. When the shrimp have marinated, combine the oil and cumin seeds in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Cover, if using mustard seeds, because the seeds will splatter and pop. Cook until the cumin darkens or you hear the mustard seeds crackle, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add the shrimp and cook 30 seconds, stirring often. Add the green onion and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink all over, about 1 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve hot.
