This is a super straight-forward recipe: marinate the shrimp for just ten minutes, sauté them and enjoy the wonderful flavors. Oh and it’s wonderfully low carb, too – like almost ZERO CARB. 🙂 If you’re not used to Indian food, this is a great introduction – and you could always skip the red pepper flakes if you prefer!

In a bowl, mix together red pepper flakes, ground cumin, ground turmeric and salt.

Add vegetable oil and stir to mix. Add the shrimp – I prefer deveined, shell off, tail on shrimp for this recipe. But you can use whatever you like, as long as they’re deveined. 🙂

Cover and leave to marinate for at least ten minutes, although overnight in the fridge would be totally fine.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-hot heat and add the shrimp. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until cooked, turning over halfway through the cooking time.

Serve with lettuce and lemon slices for a tasty Indian appetizer, or with Cardamom Cauliflower Rice as a main meal.

Alternatively, remove the tails and add them to a low carb tortilla with lettuce for a delicious lunch!
