A tandoor isย a clay cylindrical oven used for baking and cooking. They use charcoal or wood and the food is cooked on an open flame. Most Indian restaurants have one but most Indian homes are not lucky to have one, so we use gas/electric or sometimes even BBQ grills. Tandoori refers to a cooking method and involves the marination of meat, paneer(Indian cottage cheese) or any vegetables in yogurt and a spices.

So why not add some quick spicy sizzle to your evening with some piquant tandoori achari (pickle) shrimp or scallops.

I do not use yogurt for tandoori marination of Shrimp or Scallops. ย 

If you do not have an Indian/Asian store near you, you can order Mango Pickle, Cumin Powder, and Tandoori Masala(Spice) on Amazon.

Serve hot with your favorite cocktail. We love a nice tangy Paloma with it and the recipe below.

Did you know Paloma is the National drink if Mexico. Nope its not the Margarita as most people assume.
