Another Monica Bhide recipe! We had the shrimp late last night and I woke up this morning wishing I had some more, they were so delicious! ;) I suggest that you make double the quantity and keep them ready to serve!!! We made these for the seafood and protein lovers! Monica Bhide's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009). There is a 2 hr marinating time for which I didn't allow.

COOKING TIME INCLUDES MARINATING TIME! After looking at a lot of similar recipes, I combined all my favorite flavors into one sweet glaze. The recipe was developed for shrimp, but it can be used on boneless chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option.
