Masala Spiced Shrimp

Masala is an Indian spice blend that is warm, bold, and often spicy. The avocado is silky and pairs well with the heat from the spice rub. Enjoy as an appetizer or as an entree over rice.

Ingredients:

1 t cayenne pepper
1 t turmeric
1 t sea salt
1 1/2 # shrimp
1 T vegetable oil
1 lime, cut into eighths
cilantro
1 avocado (small diced)

Combine the cayenne, turmeric, and salt. Rub the spice mixture onto the shrimp and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Fry the shrimp in the oil until they loose translucency, about 1-2 minutes per side. Garnish with the avocado and cilantro. Serve the limes on the side.
