Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 120 ml Coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- 1 whole Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or broiler to medium-high heat.
Step 4
If using skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Step 5
Grill or broil the shrimp for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque, pink, and slightly charred at the edges. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
