Recipe: Tandoori king prawn skewers

By SUNIL VIJAYAKAR

Indian food isn't just about curry. King prawns are meaty enough to handle this punchy tandoori marinade.


Punchy flavours: King prawns are a perfect partner for spicy seasoning


SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

600g (1lb 5oz) large shell-on raw king prawns
3tbsp tandoori spice powder
6tbsp natural yoghurt
Juice of 2 limes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


METHOD

Place the prawns in a bowl. Mix together the tandoori spice powder, yoghurt and lime juice. Season well and marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the prawns from the marinade, thread each one on to a metal skewer then place them on a grill rack. Cook under a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning once, or until all the prawns have turned pink and are properly cooked through.

Serve immediately with a yoghurt dip mixed with fresh mint and coriander, with lemon wedges to squeeze over the prawns.
