Shrimp Marinade

Grilled Vegetables

Method

Marinating the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine hung curd, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo prawns to the marinade. Ensure that the prawns are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for better flavor).

Grilling the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 200°C (400°F).

  2. 4

    Skewer the Shrimp

    Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, leaving space between each shrimp for even cooking.

  3. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have grill marks.

Grilling the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into uniform pieces for even cooking.

  2. 7

    Toss with Oil and Seasoning

    In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.

  3. 8

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill alongside the shrimp. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Once the shrimp and vegetables are grilled, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Optionally, garnish with fresh coriander leaves or a squeeze of lemon before serving. Enjoy your Tandoori Shrimp with grilled vegetables!
