Floyd Cardoz -- the Top Chef Masters winner and North End Grill chef -- may live in New York, but the Mumbai seafood is always on his mind. For his Inspired Recipe, he decided to cook black pepper shrimp because it reminds him of his childhood and the spicy seafood that he still gravitates towards.

Grind the peppercorns and coriander seeds separately in an electric coffee/spice grinder until ground medium fine.

Combine the ground spices with the olive oil in a bowl and add the shrimp, tossing to coat well. Marinate the shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 6 hour and up to 24 hours.
