Tandoori Grilled Shrimp Skewers



I'm not a fan of Indian cuisine, though I have eaten and enjoyed Tandoori chicken. When I saw this recipe in a recent Weight Watchers magazine, I decided to give it a try.

Serves 4
1/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1lb uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
OPTIONAL - 2 tbs chopped fresh cilantro

Combine yogurt, salt, lemon juice, olive oil, curry, cumin, coriander, garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator (covered).

Divide shrimp among 4 metal or wooden skewers. Coat a grill pan or grill with cooking spray. Preheat to medium high heat. Grill skewers until shrimp are cooked through (opaque) and slightly firm, flipping once (2-4 minutes per side). Garnish with cilantro, if desired. (5 WW points or 157 cal per serving)

TASTE NOTES
This marinade would be equally good on scallops or chicken. The spices combine for a wonderful flavor. My only change for next time would be to eliminate the cilantro and to serve with lemon wedges. The preparation time is under 10 minutes making this a great weeknight dinner.
