Ruta Kahate'S Coriander Shrimp With Zucchini Recipe

• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, divided
• Kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
• 1 bay leaf (preferably Indian bay leaf)
• 4 small dried red chiles
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 pounds zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, minced

1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with half of the turmeric and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
2. Pour two tablespoons of the oil into a large wok set over high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink, about 2 minutes, remove from heat, and immediately remove them with a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate and set aside.
3. Pour the remaining tablespoon of oil into the wok and turn the heat to medium. Add the remaining turmeric, along with the bay leaf, chiles, cumin, coriander, and the ginger. Stir well, and cook until very fragrant, about one minute. Add the zucchini, and toss until the cubes are evenly coated in the spice mixture. Cover the wok, and cook until the pieces have softened, stirring occasionally, five to eight minutes.
4. Add the shrimp and the cilantro, stir well, and then turn off the heat. Divide the mixture between four plates and serve immediately with rice.
