Cumin Fried Shrimp
CUMIN FRIED SHRIMP
When we first heard about the concept of Cumin Fried Shrimp, we were totally sold. This idea is genius, simple and something that you must try and eat... now!
Ingredients
2/3 cup olive oil, divided
5 large garlic cloves, slivered
2 lbs. shrimp, 20 to 30 per pound, peeled
2 tsp. MarnaMaria Turkish Cumin
1 tsp. Spanish paprika (optional)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
freshly chopped flat leaf parsley for a garnish
Directions
Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Make sure you have enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Add the garlic and let cook until it turns golden, about two minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
Add the shrimp and mix, making sure to coat the shrimp evenly.
Raise the heat in the skillet to high, wait 20 seconds and then add the seasoned shrimp being sure to spread them out in an even layer.
Let the shrimp cook one minute per side or until they are pink and fully cooked through.
Garnish with parsely and serve immediately using the infused olive oil as a sauce.
We recommend serving over our recipe for Saffron Rice.
