These shrimp were delicious! I rubbed the paste on the shrimp and let them marinate for an hour and cooked them in a big cast iron skillet with a minimal amount of olive oil since my oven was occupied. I served with the yogurt sauce to which I added sriracha and fresh lime juice. My husband is already requesting this again.

Very nice, but I’ll use about half the salt next time. I found dried limes and have used them in several dishes. They keep forever as far as I can tell.

1 teaspoon of salt made it hard to eat. Far too much.
ChefSacky
Made this with some changes: lime zest of one lime instead of lime powder. Also grilled the shrimp on skewers for 2 minutes per side. It was delicious. The yogurt sauce is a must!

Excellent, quick and easy! I had whole dried limes, so I whizzed them in a spice grinder with the other dry ingredients. I used flour tortillas (microwaved for 20 seconds) to make wraps, with the spiced shrimp, lettuce, avocado and tomato; covered with quick yogurt sauce. Next time, I'll try the shrimp on steamed basmati rice. Yum!

Made this for the first time for 15 people, and it was a huge hit. I also didn’t have dried lime, and instead used kaffir lime leaf powder. Served it with peach salsa, great interplay of flavors.

Fast, easy and delicious. I didn't have dried lime and replaced it with one teaspoon sumac then added 1 teaspoon cumin and a big pinch of cinnamon and kept everything else the same (even yogurt sauce) mixing it all with scant 1 tablespoon oil. It's a dry shrimp that I think would go great with Kim S's baked rice, but I like my food on the dry side sometimes.
