1 tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp fine sea salt

For the dressing

4 dried figs, stems removed, finely chopped
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp water

Instructions

1
Make the dressing: combine the chopped dried figs, apple cider vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the figs have softened and the mixture is fragrant, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt until the dressing is cohesive and slightly thickened. Set aside.
2
Pat the shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the turmeric, ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated.
