Food Recipes Indian-Spiced Shrimp With Cucumber Salad 4.7 (6) Add your rating & review This extremely fast recipe gets dinner on the table in just 15 minutes, and manages to pack in a ton of flavor, too. That’s thanks to the Indian-inspired spice mix—a fragrant combination of cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, and fresh ginger—which coats the quick-roasted shrimp. You’ll serve this alongside a lightly sweetened, vinegar-spiked cucumber mixture and white basmati rice to soak up all the delicious flavors. P.S. The smashing of the cucumbers might seem like an unnecessary step, but it coaxes out extra juices from the cucumbers, which marry with the other sauce ingredients.
