    1

    Start by marinating the shrimp. In a bowl, combine shrimp with turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.

    2

    While the shrimp is marinating, finely chop the onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and green chili.

    3

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

    4

    Add the ginger, garlic, and green chili to the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

    5

    Add the chopped tomato and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomato is softened.

    6

    Now add the coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

    7

    Add the marinated shrimp to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.

    Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro. Serve piping hot with rice or naan.
