Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place the shrimp in a non-metallic bowl and add the turmeric, chili powder, a pinch of salt and the lemon juice. Cover and chill for no more than 2 hours.
  2. Heat the wok over a high heat. Add the oil and as it begins to smoke, add the cumin seeds, garlic and ginger. Stir until the garlic is lightly coloured, taking care not to let it brown.
  3. Add the marinated shrimp and, keeping the heat on high, cook for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice so that all the shrimp touch the base of the pan. Take care not to agitate the pan too much, otherwise the shrimp will release too much liquid.
  4. Add the peppers, scallions and chili. Fry for a further minute or so.
  5. Once the shrimp are cooked through, add the cilantro. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary, then serve hot with naan bread, rice or noodles.
