Creating Tandoori Shrimp at home can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, oil, tandoori masala, cumin, paprika, garlic paste, ginger paste, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Ensure all the shrimp are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight for better flavor infusion.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to a medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare for Cooking: If grilling, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first). If roasting, place the shrimp on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
5. Cook the Shrimp: Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are slightly charred. If using the oven, roast the shrimp for about 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
6. Check for Doneness: The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, with an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C).
7. Garnish: Remove the shrimp from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
8. Serve Hot: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an added zing.

By following these easy steps, you can impress family and friends with a dish that tastes as delightful as it looks.
