Tandoori Spiced Grilled Shrimp With Mint Cilantro Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Whisk together the chile powder, garam marsala, canola oil, lemon juice in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat in the mixture. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• For the chutney: Combine the cilantro, mint, scallions, chile, 1 tablespoon each honey and canola oil, lime zest, and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Process to make a smooth paste. Taste; add honey, if desired, or more oil to make a sauce that will cling to the shrimp.
• Thread 2 skewers through 3 shrimp so that the shrimp lay flat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Remove the shrimp to a platter and serve with the cilantro-mint chutney.

Steps:

• 1 In a blender, puree the first 8 ingredients until they form a paste.
• 2 In a large bowl, toss your protein with the marinade. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• 3 When ready to cook, heat the grill and shake any excess marinade from the protein. Grill 9 minutes for chops, 6 to 8 minutes a side on a covered grill for chicken, or 4 minutes a side for shrimp. Serve.

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, or a blender, combine the garlic, turmeric, salt, red pepper flakes, and yogurt.
• Blend well and place in a glass bowl until ready to use.
• One hour before grilling, place the shrimp into the yogurt marinade.
• Soak wooden skewers in warm water to prevent burning.
• Place the shrimp on the skewers.
• Grill, 4 to 6 inches from source of heat, on a rack that you have lightly coated with cooking spray for one minute.
• Carefully turn and grill until shrimp are cooked through, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place shrimp on platter and serve immediately.
