This is an adaptation of an Indian Shrimp Recipe from Cooking Light magazine. It could be an appetizer, or a main dish. I also think it could work on Tilapia, or other white fish. It's pretty spicy, but really a great Indian / Thai flavor!

Steps

1

Thaw, and remove the tails from the jumbo shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2

Combine ginger, brown sugar, chilli pepper, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, tumeric, cloves, and salt in a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp you just cleaned. Glad ware works good, or have enough saran wrap to cover the bowl later.
3

Combine gin and minced garlic in a ramekin, or small cup. Mix the wet gin and minced garlic in the large bowl with a fork or whisk.
4

Toss the raw shrimp in the marinade mix with your hands in the large bowl, cover it, and let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes.
5

Spray pam in a non stick skillet, add canola oil, warm it on medium heat for a couple minutes until it shimmers.
6

Cook the shrimp for 1.5 to 2 minutes on a side and turn the shrimp to cook both sides.
7

Place mixed greens, and salad fixings on a plate, and arrange the shrimp on top of the salad. You can serve this with Vinaigrette or Caesar dressing.
