15 August 1947 - BRITISH EMPIRE'S FORMER 'JEWEL IN THE CROWN' BREAKS 
FREE: British Crown Rule ends in one of the most populous places on 
the planet, the vast, diverse country of India. Although the Dutch, 
Danish, and French were there before them, Britain has had a presence 
on the vast subcontinent since 1612. Today, however, India gains its 
freedom.

      1 lb Medium-large shrimp
    1/2 ts Turmeric
      2 ts Cayenne pepper
    1/2 ts Dry mustard
    1/2 ts Salt

  Shell and devein shrimps, leaving the tails on, and wash

  salt and vinegar and toss to coat shrimps. Cover with the
  lid and let the shrimps marinate while you microwave the
  potatoes.
  
  Prick potatoes in 2 to 3 places. Nuke, uncovered, at 100%
  power in a 650-700 watt carousel oven for 7 minutes (or
  until potatoes give when pressed). Remove from the oven,
  peel and slice potatoes, and set aside, covered, until
  needed.
  
  Cook shrimps, covered, at 100% power for 2 minutes 30
  seconds (or until they are barely cooked), stirring once.
  Let shrimps stand, covered, for 3 minutes. Spread potatoes
  on a heated plate. Uncover and arrange shrimps on top.
  Pour any sauce accumulated in the dish over the shrimps
  and serve.
  
  NOTE: This one is REALLY hot. You might want to start out
  with half the recommended cayenne and work your way up!
