SPICED GINGER SHRIMP WITH BURST TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine spice blend, ginger, garlic, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add shrimp and toss well. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add the oil. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the whole tomatoes burst and the halved ones start to wrinkle, about 2 minutes.
• Add shrimp mixture and sauté for another 2 to 4 minutes, turning the shrimp, until they are pink all over.
• Gently stir in butter and cook for another minute, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Taste and add more salt and spices, if needed. Garnish with mint and scallion greens and serve immediately.

GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATO-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; discard the skins. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro, the vinegar and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spread the cauliflower florets on one half of a 24-inch-long piece of foil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and dot with the butter; season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the cauliflower and crimp the edges to seal and form a packet. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the foil packet on one side of the grill until the packet is puffed and the cauliflower is lightly charred and tender, about 6 minutes per side. Grill the salmon on the other side of the grill until opaque but still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill the naan until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side; cut into wedges.
• Carefully open the foil packet and toss the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top the salmon with the tomato-ginger sauce and serve with the cauliflower and naan.

TOMATO-GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring, until onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, and raisins. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and jamlike, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool completely.

SPICY FRIED SHRIMP WITH GREEN CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chile, cilantro, mint and lemon juice. Toss to coat well and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (May marinate up to several hours in advance, refrigerated.)
• Make the chutney: Put mint, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, cumin and chile in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth, using a little ice water as necessary to help blend the mixture. Add lime juice and transfer to a small serving bowl.
• Just before frying, sprinkle rice flour and chickpea flour over reserved shrimp and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons water and toss. Shrimp should now have a batter-like coating.
• Heat an inch of oil in a wok until nearly smoking, about 375 degrees. Fry a few shrimp at a time until golden and crisp, a minute or so per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all shrimp are fried. Serve with green chutney.

GINGER-TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, brown sugar and ginger in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add tomatoes with juices and cinnamon. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until chutney is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon. (Chutney can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat or bring to room temperature before using.)

EASY SHRIMP AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan. Season shrimp with salt and ground pepper. Add half the shrimp to the pan; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shrimp.
• Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until they begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt.
• Return shrimp and any accumulated juices to pan. Add parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat. Serve over pasta, rice, or spinach, if desired.

CUMIN-LIME SHRIMP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and the cumin until well coated. Season with kosher salt and toss again.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
• Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Stir in the ginger, garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the lime juice to pan and scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about half, about 1 minute more. Stir in the lime zest and scatter with the cilantro. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

GINGER-CHUTNEY SHRIMP STIR-FRY
