Excellent dish. I did marinade the shrimp about 24 hours. Cooked as described and added some red pepper flakes. Used extra garlic too. Easy and simple to do.

I made this for my surf and turf dinner last weekend. I marinated fro 24 hours, and included the spices in the marinade, rather than adding at cooking time. This was very easy, and I'll definately use the method again, as the shrimp were tender and perfectly cooked. My only complaint was that the cumin seemed to be a really odd taste with the shrimp, but only when they were hot. I had the leftovers as a cold snack the next day, and the flavor was fine. I think this would be great over pasta, but I'll omit the cumin next time. Thanks for posting!
