Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 120 grams Full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 teaspoons Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or avocado oil for higher smoke point)

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, turmeric, paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, minced garlic, grated ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the tandoori marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and fully cooked through.
Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and plate them. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy this Keto Tandoori Shrimp dish on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
