I was craving some really good seared scallops, and we had a container of super fresh large ones in the freezer that we had just bought a couple of days before. The problem was there was only about 10 in there, and I didn’t feel it was substantial enough to serve the family. So I decided to try a shrimp recipe that I had been eyeing and I added a package of shrimp in with the scallops. It was delicious!

Spicy Shrimp With Lime & Cilantro
¾ tsp coarse salt
¾ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp curry
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp cinnamon
(I doubled all seasonings because I knew I was using more seafood then the recipe called for)
1 1/4lbs shrimp peeled (I used about ¾’s of a pack from Loblaws as well as a container of about 10 large sea scallops)
1 T unsalted butter (I ended up using about 2 T)
Chopped cilantro, lime wedges, toasted whole wheat naan and plain yogurt for serving (I left this all out and served with a greek salad, although this would have been lovely with the naan and toppings)
Combine seasonings & sprinkle on shrimp (and scallops. I patted them dry first, sprinkled both with seasonings, and then rubbed in a bit). Toss to combine. In a large skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the seafood and cook 3-5 minutes. Serve with the cilantro, lime wedges, naan and yogurt. Super easy and so flavorful! The cinnamon really makes the dish pop.
