Hello, Lounger! Happy Monday, and I hope everything is going well for you! Today I’m going to share my super easy and quick Masala Shrimps and Mushrooms recipe with you. It’s so tasty, and the spices aren’t overpowering.
Masala is a spice blend widely used in Indian and Pakistani cuisines, including curries, lentil dishes, and soups. Cinnamon, mace, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and cardamom pods are toasted in a pan to release their aromatic flavors before being ground to a powder. And because masala its made, most people find masala recipes to be too strong for their palates.
I had the same reaction! Despite my love for Indian and Pakistani cuisine, I find them too spicy or robust at times. As a result, I created a good recipe for both first-timers and most people who like me! So, let’s get started, shall we?!

Quick Tips:
- You can find any fish masala powder in Asian stores. Garam Masala is perfectly fine too.
- It’s optional to peel the shrimps, but I prefer mine peeled for an easier eating experience. I usually leave the shrimp’s head-on because it’s full of flavor.
- To reduce bad cholesterol, I usually use Flora, a plant-based butter. Similarly, extra virgin olive oil is preferable.
