Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the 1 lb shrimp, 1/2 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp tandoori spice, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

  3. Step 3

    Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque and are lightly charred at the edges.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the shrimp to a plate. Serve hot with 1/4 cup mango chutney and 1/2 sliced red onion on the side.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: sprinkle with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of extra lemon before serving.
