These shrimp were delicious! I rubbed the paste on the shrimp and let them marinate for an hour and cooked them in a big cast iron skillet with a minimal amount of olive oil since my oven was occupied. I served with the yogurt sauce to which I added sriracha and fresh lime juice. My husband is already requesting this again.
Very nice, but I’ll use about half the salt next time. I found dried limes and have used them in several dishes. They keep forever as far as I can tell.
Too many strong flavours - I can't taste the prawns - at 55g (2oz) each, these aren't 'shrimp'. I'll try it without the cumin, cinnamon, coriander.
1 teaspoon of salt made it hard to eat. Far too much.
Made this with some changes: lime zest of one lime instead of lime powder. Also grilled the shrimp on skewers for 2 minutes per side. It was delicious. The yogurt sauce is a must!
