Merinade

sans-soy sauce 2 tbsp
lemon zest 1 tsp
green onion, chopped, 1/8 in pieces 1 tbsp
ginger, peeled, chopped 1 tsp
salt 1/2 tsp
pepper 1/2 tsp

Put shrimps in a bowl, add merinade, stir well to coat shrimps.
Let stand at least 1/2 hour.

Cooking

mustard seed, whole 1/4-1/2 tsp
garlic, chopped 2-3 cloves
turmeric, fresh, chopped 1-2 tsp
ginger, fresh, chopped 1/2 inch
cinammon, ground 1/4 tsp
nutmeg, ground 1/4 tsp
cumin, ground 1 tsp
coriander seed, ground 1 tsp
chipolte powder 1/2 tsp
salt 1/2 tsp
black pepper 1/4-1/2 tsp
green onion, chopped, 1/8in 2-3 onions
clam juice 2 tbsp
chickpea stock † 2-3 tbsp
clarified butter 2-4 tbsp
lemon juice 1/2-1 tsp

In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, saute mustard seeds in some of the butter. In a minute or two the seeds will "pop" a bit like popcorn.
After mustard has popped, saute turmeric, ginger and garlic until starting to soften.
Raise heat a little, add butter if necessary. Put shrimp in pan and saute quickly, stir and turn frequently to make sure that contents are evenly exposed to hot butter.
When shrimp have begun to turn white/pink add remaining spices, mixing quickly with shrimp. Reduce heat to medium or medium low.
Immediately add clam juice and some of the chickpea liquid. Add several tablespoons of water to keep the contents from drying out.
Let simmer for a few minutes, adjusting sauce by adding water or chickpea stock to get a suitable volume and thickness. (Shouldn't be watery or gummy.)
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Add lemon juice, stir well and serve.

† "Chickpea stock" is the liquid recovered after pressure cooking chickpeas or black-eyed peas. The stock is also known as "aquafaba". When draining the beans after cooking, the cooking liquid can be reserved. It's useful for extending and thickening sauces, and in the case of chickpea stock, can be used to make desserts as well.
