Ingredients

· 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

· 2 teaspoons garam masala

· Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

· 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Toss the shrimp with ‘/2 teaspoon garam masala in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Heat tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until the edges are golden, about 30 seconds per side. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon; set aside.

2. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pot, then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned, 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, the remaining 11/2 teaspoons garam masala and the cilantro. Cook, stirring to coat, 30 seconds. Stir in 3% cups water and the potatoes. Cover, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, then uncover and add the cauliflower. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Stir in the shrimp and peas; simmer 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with more cilantro. Serve with the naan.
