Preparation

Step 1

For marinade, stir together the ginger, garlic, flour, seeds, pepper, masala, and turmeric in a bowl large enough to hold shrimp. Stir in lemon juice and then yogurt, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition.

Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Toast the cumin seeds and then grind into a powder.

Preheat oven to 550F or heat grill. If using oven, put the shrimp in a single layer on a rack in a foil-lined baking pan, sprinkle with salt, and roast 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes, then brush with melted butter and roast another 10 minutes.

If grilling, grill 3 minutes each side; let rest 15 minutes off the grill, brush with the butter and grill 10 more minutes.

Arrange shrimp on a platter, sprinkle with reserved cumin, and squeeze the lemon over. Serve hot.
