Spicy Fried Shrimp

• 1 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, or to taste
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup water, or as needed
• olive oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
• 3 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 1/2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 5 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon coconut milk powder
• 2 cardamom pods
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 star anise pod
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1. Puree red onion in a blender or food processor.
2. Season shrimp with about 1/2 of the turmeric and salt.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, the remaining turmeric, and water. Season with salt; simmer until water evaporates, 6 to 8 minutes.
4. Heat oil and butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add pureed onions, jalapenos, ginger-garlic paste, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, and black pepper. Cook and stir until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
5. Combine cinnamon stick, poppy seeds, coconut milk powder, cardamom, cloves, star anise, nutmeg, oregano, and rosemary in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until masala is aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes.
6. Pour masala into the onion-jalapeno mixture; cook, covered, over medium heat until flavors blend, about 7 minutes. Add shrimp, lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce, and red food coloring; cook and stir until flavors are absorbed, about 5 minutes more.
