Indian style shrimp

This dish may not have looked so great, but it smelled incredible and tasted pretty good too.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon Mrs. Dash or salt substitute
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 medium squash, acorn or zucchini chopped
nonstick cooking spray
3 medium shallots, peeled and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 pound medium shrimp, cleaned
Cooked couscous or rice if you wish (follow package directions)

Instructions:
Mix together spices and vinegar. Set aside. In a large saucepan spray nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent. Do not let the garlic brown.

Add the prepared spices and vinegar mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds.

Add the squash cook while stirring the mixture together to get the squash well coated. This should take just a few seconds. Then add in the broth and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer slowly until the squash is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the shrimp. Cover again and cook about 3 minutes.

Serve over cooked coucous.
