Time 1h

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds jumbo or large shrimp
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated or crushed fresh ginger
3 to 6 fresh hot green chilies, minced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons horseradish
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon carom (ajwain) seeds, crushed, or substitute 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons yellow food coloring (optional)
Olive oil for basting
2 medium-sized onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Lemon slices and fresh coriander sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Shell and devein the shrimp, leaving the tail part on. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry on towels.
  • Combine all the ingredients of the marinade in a large ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss well. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  • Light and prepare a covered charcoal grill until white ash covers the coals and the heat subdues to a moderately hot level. Scatter presoaked grapevine cuttings over the coals. Lightly brush the racks with oil.
  • Thread the shrimp alternating with the onions on long thin metal skewers. Brush the shrimp with oil. Place the skewers on the rack. Barbecue, turning them two or three times, until the shrimp are opaque (about six minutes). Slide the shrimp along with the onions off the skewers onto a heated platter. Garnish with lemon slices and coriander sprigs.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Tandoori Shrimp were a complete disaster. They were overcooked and the marinade was way too salty.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Tandoori Shrimp didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit dry and the marinade didn't have much flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! The Tandoori Shrimp were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I served them with basmati rice and a side of naan bread. Yum!

These Tandoori Shrimp were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best shrimp he's ever had.

I've made this Tandoori Shrimp recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The yogurt marinade infuses the shrimp with so much flavor, and the tandoori spices give them a wonderful smoky taste.
