Yesterday evening was exceptionally pleasant. The sun was out but not too harsh. The agreeable temperature accompanied by cool breeze was enough for me to shun the kitchen. As I was still obsessing over what to make for dinner I remembered I had some frozen shrimps in the freezer. I whipped them out applied a quick marinade and it was all ready for the grill. Check out my recipe for Spicy Grilled Shrimp and let me know what you think of it.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimps (prawns)
1 tbsp chilli powder
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp turmeric (optional)
1 tbsp oil
salt as per taste
Preparation:
- Clean and devein shrimps. Rinse them in water, drain and set them aside.
- In a bowl prepare the marinade by whisking together chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, turmeric, salt and oil.
- Add the shrimp to the marinade.
- Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- Take some bamboo skewers. Soak them in cold water.
- Thread each shrimp on to the skewers.
- With a brush or PAM apply oil lightly over the grill grate.
- Grill the shrimp skewers for about 7 minutes each side.
- Serve with rice or garlic bread.
Useful Suggestions:
- If you don’t like it spicy add paprika instead of chilli powder.
- If you soak bamboo skewers in cold water they will not burn when placed over a hot grill.
- You can bake spicy grilled shrimp in the oven too. Just set the temperature to 425 degrees and allow it to cook for 5- 7 minutes each side.

I would have to leave out the spices, but yum!
Just what I have been surfing around for, thanks so much for sharing. Back to the grocery store I go, I don’t have any soy sauce.
