Hara Masala Shrimp

• Sauce:
• 1 cup (tightly packed) cilantro, leaves and stems
• 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 to 2 green chilies, such as jalapeño or serrano
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• Salt to taste
• 3/4 cup Greek yogurt diluted with 1/4 cup water
• Shrimp:
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Combine the cilantro, ginger, green chilies, garlic, and water in a blender or food processor and mix into a smooth paste.

Heat oil in a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cilantro paste and sauté for 5 minutes. Add coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and salt. Mix well. Reduce heat and slowly add the yogurt, stirring constantly. If the sauce seems too thick, add up to 3/4 cup water until it reaches the desired consistency. Increase heat to medium and cook until the flavors have combined, 3 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat broiler and line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Rub the shrimp with oil and season with salt. Place the shrimp on the tray in a single layer and broil until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss the shrimp with the sauce and serve.
