This quick, flavor-packed meal brings the smoky, tangy essence of tandoori-style cooking into the kitchen with minimal effort. The shrimp are marinated in spiced yogurt to infuse them with bold flavor before being roasted over a bed of vegetables in just minutes. Bell peppers and onions add sweetness and a bit of crunch, while a final blast under the broiler gives everything a slight char. Serve with warm naan, roti or fluffy basmati rice and a cooling raita for a complete meal.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange one oven rack closest to the broiler and another on the middle position. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Marinate the shrimp: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, ground cumin, garam masala, chile powder, coriander, turmeric, 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.

  3. Step 3

    On a large sheet pan, toss all the bell peppers with the onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, the cumin seeds and ½ teaspoon salt. Roast the vegetables until tender and lightly browned, 20 minutes. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and flip over any especially browned vegetables. Arrange a rack 6 inches from the broiler and set the oven to broil on high.

  4. Step 4

    Place the marinated shrimp in a single layer on top of the roasted vegetables. Broil until the shrimp start to char, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove the sheet pan, flip the shrimp and broil for another 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with naan, roti or rice, along with lemon wedges.

I might just put these on skewers and grill. Put the veggies on separate skewers from the shrimp as they cook longer and grill some Naan too.

BAD INSTRUCTIONS!!! How long should the shrimp marinate. What rack should I use to roast the vegetables and broil the shrimp?

Wayyyyyyyy too bitter. Almost inedible! Spicing was too aggressive for the shrimp and it didn’t really cook out. Tasted like raw spices. Unpleasant

This was excellent; followed the recipe with full the full spice load and I and my family enjoyed it very much. Not spicy but very flavourful. Served with naan, rice and a simple raita - delish!

Made this for lunch today. It was delicious. If the spices are well mixed in the yogurt and then lightly charred, it balances well. The veggies added sweetness. This is a keeper in the rotation.

Made this last night and it was amazing. Served it with raita and roti. I added and extra red onion and it could use more Kashmiri mirch to make it a little spicier. Will definitely make it again. Truly do not understand the other comments about it being bitter or spicy!
