Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds shrimp (21-25 count) peeled and deveined
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk or plain coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tandoori spice mix (no salt added)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
- 2 limes cut into wedges
Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under running water for 5 to 7 minutes, or until no longer icy. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
- In a large bowl, combine the Diamond kosher salt, coconut milk, Tandoori spice mix, and lemon juice. Whisk until well-distributed.
- Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. You can marinate the shrimp for up to 30 minutes if desired.
- Heat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the middle position. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the shrimp over at the halfway point. (If your shrimp are smaller than jumbo, they may take just 5 minutes to cook!)
- Sprinkle with minced fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges. (Yes, lemons are just as good!)

Notes
The shrimp are finished cooking when they turn opaque and pink on the outside. They’re easy to overcook, so don’t dawdle. No one likes rubbery shrimp!
