Shrimp Tikka
If you like Indian and various curries, try this on your bbq. It isn't spicy, but it has some nice flavours. I doubled the recipe and added a tad bit more garlic, ginger and jalapeño. I suppose if you want it spicy you can add some curry powder and some curry leaves. I am going to try it next time I make it. I think it would be good on chicken as well. I didn't do the mango chutney, but I got the recipe from epicurious, so it probably is good. It is still good without the chutney, makes a great marinade.
For shrimp: 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice 1 (1-inch) piece fresh jalapeño, chopped (about 2 tsp) 1 (1-inch) piece peeled ginger, chopped 1 large garlic clove, smashed 2 tsp ground garam masala 3/4 tsp turmeric 1/8 tsp grated nutmeg 2 lb large shrimp in shell, peeled, leaving tail fan attached
For chutney: 1 tsp ground cumin 1 (3/4-lb) unripe mango, chopped 1/3 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped (3/4 cup) 1/2 cup chopped red onion 1 to 2 tsp minced fresh jalapeño with seeds 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice 3 Tbsp thinly sliced mint 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
Equipment: 10 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes Accompaniment: lime wedges Preparation
Marinate shrimp: Purée all ingredients for marinating shrimp, except shrimp, with 1/2 tsp salt in a blender until smooth. Pour into a sealable bag, then add shrimp and marinate at cool room temperature, turning bag occasionally, 30 minutes. Make chutney while shrimp marinate: Toast cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir together remaining chutney ingredients with 1/4 tsp salt, then sprinkle with toasted cumin.
Make kebabs: Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas);
Thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving small spaces between them. Put on a tray.
Oil grill rack, then grill skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Serve with chutney.
Cooks' notes: •Shrimp can be cooked in a hot well-oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan, turning once, about 8 minutes total. •Marinade can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. •Chutney can be made 6 hours ahead and chilled.
