Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 120 grams Plain unsweetened yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for grilling or baking)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, Kashmiri red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to form the tandoori marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat a grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using an oven, set it to broil and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil. If broiling, brush the foil-lined baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill or broil the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and are lightly charred. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
Remove the shrimp from the grill or oven. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
