This tangy recipe is one of the easiest ways to make shrimp. In fact, I demonstrated the entire recipe—from start to finish—during a five-minute appearance on TV as a guest chef. It takes an extra three minutes to get the marinade ready, so if you can spare eight minutes, you can make a fantastic shrimp dish. Serve either as an appetizer or as a main course with French bread to soak up all the delicious juices. This dish is so colorful on its own, it doesn’t even need a garnish.

You will need

½ tsp Cayenne Pepper 1 tbsp finely chopped Cilantro leaves 3 tbsp Canola Oil , divided 2 cloves Garlic , minced ½ Lemon , juiced 12 jumbo or 8 ounces large Tiger Shrimp ½ tsp ground Turmeric Salt

Instructions

1. Clean and shell the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Rinse. Place the shrimp in a shallow bowl with the lemon juice, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the cilantro, cayenne, turmeric, and salt. (Some frozen shrimp are salted, so remember to take that into account.). Stir well and taste–the marinade should be tangy and spicy. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
