Curried Shrimp with Basil-Lime Yogurt Recipe
I came up with this one night out of the ingredients in my refrigerator. Delicious, simple and fresh, this is a wonderful main course or appetizer that is also really healthy. One of my favorite modifications is substituting cilantro for the basil, but either version works really well.
- 20 jumbo shrimp (peeled, deveined)
- 4 tablespoons curry powder
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pat-dry shrimp and dredge both sides in the curry powder.
- Heat a nonstick pan thoroughly coated with olive oil. Once heated, add the shrimp, cooking about 1-2 minutes per side.
- While shrimp cooks, whisk together the yogurt, basil, lime, cumin, and salt and pepper. Portion onto four plates.
- When the shrimp are pink and cooked through, place five shrimp onto each plate over the yogurt.
