Method
Marinate the Shrimp

Prepare the Masala Paste
- Grind onions, tomatoes, green chilies, cilantro, and mint into a smooth paste and set aside.
Cook the Masala
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the freshly ground paste of onions, tomatoes, green chilies, cilantro, and mint.
- Sauté the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the masala is well cooked and completely dehydrated.
Add Water
- Once the masala has cooked down, add half a cup of water to the pan and bring it to a boil.
Cook the Shrimp
- Add the marinated shrimp to the pan, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the masala.
- Cook the shrimp on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until they are fully cooked, tender, and the oil begins to separate from the masala.
Finish and Garnish
