Tandoori Shrimp
- 1 12 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 3 12 lbs large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 14 cup fresh green chili, finely chopped (sounds like alot to me, use less if you don't want as much heat)
- 14-12 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground red pepper (this is Indian red pepper and it is extremely hot, reduce amount if you don't want as much heat)
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- 14 teaspoon garam masala
- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- hot cooked basmati rice (or rice of your choice)
- Cook cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until seeds are lightly toasted; remove from heat, and let cool.
- Peel shrimp, and devein, if desired.
- Cut a slit almost through back of each shrimp.
- Place shrimp in a large heavy duty, zip-top plastic bag.
- Combine cumin seeds, chilies, yogurt, lemon juice, red pepper, salt, pepper, garam masala and garlic; pour over shrimp.
- Seal bag securely, and shake until shrimp are well coated.
