2 tbsp tomato paste
Pinch pepper

In a large pan, bring salt water to a boil and add shrimp. As they turn pink, about 3-5 minutes, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon

For chili sauce, heat oil in a skillet and add next 3 ingredients and cook until just softened. Stir in tomatoes and paste, heat gently. Add spices and stir in shrimp. Heat over low heat to meld flavors. Keep warm while preparing remaining ingredients.

On a serving platter, arrange lettuce, top with chips and ladle on shrimp. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with coriander around sides of platter.

Prepare dressing by combining ingredients until blended. Chill if not using right away. Offer dressing on side to serve with lettuce. Serves 6
