Ingredients

• 500 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 120 grams Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine non-fat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with foil. Lightly spray the foil with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the top of the shrimp lightly with olive oil for a golden finish.

Step 5

Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The shrimp are done when they are opaque and slightly charred around the edges. Be careful not to overcook.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 7

Enjoy the Low Fat Tandoori Shrimp with a side of salad, steamed vegetables, or whole-grain flatbread for a complete meal.
