In a separate small bowl, create a slurry by mixing cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Introduce the slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a velvety consistency. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in a mixture of ginger-garlic paste and a pinch of turmeric for about 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to suit your spice preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve hot with fragrant basmati rice or naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
