Indian-Inspired Shrimp with Coconut, Chiles and Tomato
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006

Ingredients
1/4 cup ghee or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/2 cups finely chopped red onion
4 to 6 green chiles, seeded and finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (13.5-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Steamed basmati rice, for serving

Instructions
Set a 14-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add the ghee and toast the
mustard seeds and cumin until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the onions, chiles, ginger and garlic
and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are slightly caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more. Pour the diced tomatoes into the pan
and cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Raise the heat to high, and add the coconut
milk. Cook the coconut milk until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Season the shrimp with 1 1/2
teaspoons of the salt. Add the shrimp to the pan, stirring often, and cook until curled and pink,
about 5 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro and season with the remaining salt. Serve the shrimp over
steamed basmati rice.
