Shrimp can be cooked in many ways. Here's an Indian grilled version, done with tandoori flavourings. Ideal as a main course or as part of an appetizer extravaganza. Prep time includes marinating time. Ingredients:
4 lbs shrimp, shelled and deveined |
16 ounces plain yogurt |
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper |
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper |
1 1/4 teaspoons turmeric |
1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder |
4 teaspoons paprika |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced |
2 teaspoons gingerroot, minced |
Directions:
1. Thread shrimp on 8 10-inch skewers (if using wooden, they might not be as long so you may have to make more; soak wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before threading shrimp onto them) and lay on a jelly roll sheet or any pan that will hold them in one layer.
2. Marinate shrimp: In a small bowl, mix all ingredients well and spoon over skewered shrimp, cover completely.
3. Slip into a plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
4. Grill shrimp: Grill skewered shrimp over ashed coals for 3-4 minutes; turn and continue cooking 3 minutes more until done.
5. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
