Easy Indian Shrimp

I got this recipe from this site. I used some short cuts. I used pre-chopped garlic, and onion powder (instead of onions) and ground ginger spice (instead of  real ginger). These shortcuts made this meal's cook time 10 minutes or less. My philosophy is the less time in the kitchen the better. It turned out great! I ate this on Naan, but I want to try it over white rice the next time I make this.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1-inch piece peeled ginger, about the thickness of a thumb, quartered

• 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 pound cleaned medium or larger shrimp
• Accompaniment: flat bread like Naan or Pita or white rice

Directions:

• Drop garlic and ginger through feed tube of a food processor with motor running and process until finely chopped. Add onion and pulse until chopped.
• Cook onion mixture in oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just golden, about 5 minutes. Add spices and salt and cook, stirring, 1 minute longer.
• Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Then stir in water and bring to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook, covered, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve with flatbread or over rice.
