preparation

Makes: 16 servings
Serving Size: About 4 shrimp, 1 Tbsp. dip
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes

1. In a small food processor, mix the garlic, cilantro, green pepper, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes, pausing to scrape the sides. Add the vinegar and oil, and puree until smooth. Spoon the dip into a small serving bowl; set aside (chill in the refrigerator if not serving right away).
2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent. If you need to cook the shrimp in two batches, cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes per batch, until the shrimp are pink. Add the shrimp to a serving bowl.
4. To serve: Spoon 1 Tbsp. dip into each of 16 shot glasses, and place three or four shrimp around the lip of the glass.
