Quick and easy spiced shrimp

I tried out a curried shrimp today that was both easy to make (no need to chop onions!) and a real crowd (and 2-year old!) pleaser too. Here's the recipe:

1 lb cooked shrimp (cleaned and at room temperature)

2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

1 tsp mustard seeds

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tbsp ginger paste

2 tbsp garlic paste

1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the mustard seeds. 

2.  When the mustard seeds begin to pop, add the garlic paste, ginger paste, turmeric powder, cardamom powder and stir for a few seconds. 

3. Add shrimp, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Cook, covered, for 5 mins. 

4. Serve warm.
