1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds |
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds |
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
32 peeled and deveined large shrimp (about 1 pound) |
1 large vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into 16 wedges |
16 (1-inch) pieces green bell pepper |
16 cherry tomatoes |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves |
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 serrano chile, seeded and chopped |
1 garlic clove |
Directions:
1. To prepare shrimp, combine the first 3 ingredients in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Cool. Place the spice mixture in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground.
2. Combine spice mixture, yogurt, and next 6 ingredients (through ground red pepper) in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add shrimp to bag; seal. Toss to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.
3. Prepare grill.
4. Combine onion wedges, bell pepper, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat.
5. Remove shrimp from bag; discard marinade. Thread 4 shrimp, 2 tomatoes, 2 onion wedges, and 2 bell pepper pieces alternately onto each of 8 (10-inch) skewers. Lightly coat skewers with cooking spray. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 4 minutes on each side or until done.
6. To prepare chutney, combine mint and remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Serve with skewers.
