Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tablespoons Tandoori masala spice mix
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for grilling or broiling)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, tandoori masala spice mix, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the marinade thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 5

If using skewers, soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent them from burning. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers or cook the shrimp directly on a grill pan or baking sheet.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers (if using) or place them directly on the grill or pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 8

Remove the shrimp from the grill or broiler and let rest for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately with a side of salad or low-carb cauliflower rice.
