Place all ingredients in a bowl except for the shrimp, water, and mint.
Stir thoroughly.
Add shrimp and mix well using your hands to be sure shrimp is well coated with the spice mixture. Let sit for a couple of minutes to allow the shrimp to soak up the spices.
Heat the oil in a pan. Stir in the shrimp and sauté for a minute or two.
Pour in the water, cover and cook for another 3 minutes. Or until cooked. Just remember that shrimp cooks fast.
