Tandoori - Tikka King Prawns

"This isn't a classic indian dish, it's one that i have brought together in the style of my favourite tandoori and tikka dry-cooking dishes. Serve it with a dollop of raita and a pile of chapatis."

  1. excellent dish! i took it to an indian themed dinner party and everyone loved them. i did not use food colouring. prepared them about an hour in advance and cooked them on the bbq when we got to the party.
     
  2. Easy, and good. Didn't have the food coloring. Served it with some raita and cold beer -- excellent. Thanks, Lene.
     
  3. Turned out great. We opted to leave out the red food coloring and cooked the shrimp on an indoor grill. Made a double batch of the sauce and drizzled the extra over sauteed veggies and rice. It was quite tasty and really easy as well. Thanks for posting this recipe!
