Preparation
- Step 1
Arrange one oven rack closest to the broiler and another on the middle position. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Step 2
Marinate the shrimp: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, ground cumin, garam masala, chile powder, coriander, turmeric, 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
- Step 3
On a large sheet pan, toss all the bell peppers with the onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, the cumin seeds and ½ teaspoon salt. Roast the vegetables until tender and lightly browned, 20 minutes. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and flip over any especially browned vegetables. Arrange a rack 6 inches from the broiler and set the oven to broil on high.
- Step 4
Place the marinated shrimp in a single layer on top of the roasted vegetables. Broil until the shrimp start to char, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove the sheet pan, flip the shrimp and broil for another 3 minutes.
- Step 5
Serve with naan, roti or rice, along with lemon wedges.

Note to self: read the comments before wasting 1.5 lb. of beautiful shrimp.
Since starting the marinade is one of the first steps, by the time the veggies are prepped and cooked 20 minutes, that amount of time should be long enough for the marinade. As a general cooking rule, roasting is typically done in the middle and lower third rack positions, baking is done in the middle rack positions and broiling is done in the upper rack positions with the oven set to broil. I hope that helps!
I might just put these on skewers and grill. Put the veggies on separate skewers from the shrimp as they cook longer and grill some Naan too.
Enjoyed this with lime juice and yogurt. Might cut turmeric to 1/4 tsp or leave out as I think that is where the bitterness comes from that others mentioned? Didn't really notice it with the sweet peppers/onions and the few potatoes I threw in and roasted before doing the peppers.
This is going in our make again list! My husband is of Indian decent and this was one of those dinners that he looked at me and said, you need to make this again! Makes my heart warm to see him enjoy it. We had w/ chili garlic naan and raita. I used the naan as a vessel for the shrimp and peppers and topped with the raita - almost like a gyro. I didn't find the spices bitter, but I roast a grind my own spices (cumin, coriander, garam masala). If you are new to Indian cooking, maybe use less?
One of my fave NYT shrimp recipes! Went heavier on the coriander, lighter on the cumin, but that’s just personal preference. Instructions were perfect, and the result was delicious!
