Tandoori Prawns (Jhinga) Recipe

Tandoori Prawns are the grilled shrimp skewers loaded with the bold Indian flavors. They are absolutely perfect for the drink or barbecue parties. The big, juicy, fresh, firm, perfectly grilled, gluten-free Tandoori Prawns are a real outburst of flavors.

This super easy Tandoori Prawn Recipe yields delicious end results! Marinate them a few hours before the party and forget about them. Last-minute set the grill and roast the prawns. These grilled prawns do not require more than 10 minutes on each side to get done to perfection.

Marination is one of the most important steps in the making of flavorsome Tandoori Prawns. I prefer marinating the prawns at least a night before the grilling day. Or you can say 5 – 6 hours is a good enough time for the prawns to absorb the flavor of the spices and seasoning.

Once you set these prawns on fire for grilling, the air nearby is engulfed in the whiff of charcoal and the grilled deliciousness. Squeeze lemon juice on the grilled prawns and a few leaves of fresh coriander. Ohh man, these Tandoori Prawns will make you fall in love with the shrimps once again.

These days they are one of my beloved party snacks. They save me a lot of time and turns out too delightful!

A BBQ Party Menu…

We all have this fancy BBQ Party in mind. But how to plan the menu? It is so simple – try to include easy and quick to grill meats on the menu.

I stick to chicken, fish, and prawns. Marinate each one of them during the previous night. But avoid using the same marination for each one of them. It is always fun to combine distinct herbs and spices for each marinade.

The key to a successful BBQ Party menu is not to miss out on these side-dishes – Mint and Coriander Chutney, Corn Salsa, Tomato Salsa, Lemon Iced Tea, Tortiall Wraps/Taco Shells/Roomali Roti, and tons of fresh salad. With these essentials on your table, nothing can hold you from hosting a super fun BBQ Party.

I hope you enjoy these Tandoori Prawns and other BBQ Recipes. So grill ‘em up soon, and eat them up quickly, because I guarantee they will disappear fast with a crowd.

I want to make this recipe as part of my husband’s birthday dinner tomorrow night. I live in a smaller town in California and mustard oil is nowhere to be found by tomorrow. Can you make a suggestion for what I may be able to use in its place?

If mustard oil is not available no worries. Use butter or olive oil. Mustard oil is used for giving it a slightly sharp taste and aroma.
