Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 120 ml Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for grilling)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, grated ginger, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, garam masala, smoked paprika, turmeric, red chili powder (if using), lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates or grill pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning). Alternatively, you can grill the shrimp directly without skewers.
Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking to ensure they remain tender.
Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Indian Grilled Sour Cream-Marinated Shrimp hot as an appetizer or pair with rice or naan for a complete meal.
