With okra and shrimp in the freezer, this satisfying meal is just moments away from the dinner table. Serve the shrimp masala with Coconut-Cilantro Chutney, rice, naan (Indian flatbread), jarred mango chutney, lime wedges, and sliced shallots and chiles.

Family loved it, followed the suggestion on Mad Hungry to use green beans and really enjoyed how it came out. I seasoned the shrimp with salt/pepper/turmeric and it gave a nice color. Also served it with the coconut/cilantro chutney which was delish and made jasmine rice with coconut milk. Great recipe with great flavors!

Five Star Recipe. Instead of ocra I used green beans. The prep was easy, the garlic/ginger paste didn't come together but I used it anyhow, it was fine. My family loved it. I served it over jasmine rice and with Naan which cut the heat a bit, because this is the first time I have ever cooked Indian food.

Disappointing: the first bad recipe I've made from Martha's mag! The worst recipe I've cooked in some time. I've made many other Indian dishes that require more ingredients, with wonderful results. I thought this shrimp masala recipe could be a quick version. Sadly, the flavor of this dish is thin and unpleasant.
