Tandoori Shrimp Skewers

If you like shrimp, you’ll love this Indian dinner — 25 minutes from craving to table. The macros do the talking: 34g protein, 8g carbs, and 12g fat in every 300-calorie serving. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Shrimp
• 1/2 cup Yogurt
• 2 tbsp Tandoori masala
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Bell pepper
• 1 Red onion
• 2 tbsp Cilantro

Steps

1. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for easy handling.
2. Toss with the yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, and salt; marinate 20 minutes — no longer, or the acid will turn the shrimp mushy.
3. Thread onto skewers with chunks of pepper and onion.
4. Grill over high heat just 2 minutes per side.
5. Pull them the moment they curl into a C shape and turn pink — an O shape means overcooked.
6. Squeeze fresh lemon over the hot skewers.
7. Scatter with chopped cilantro.
8. Serve immediately with rice or flatbread.
