What it is
Large prawns (6-8 pieces) marinated in a distinct Qatari spice blend (including saffron, cardamom, dried lime, and often a touch of yogurt for tenderness), then cooked in a tandoor oven for a smoky, charred exterior and juicy interior. This preparation offers a unique texture and flavor profile compared to generic grilled or fried prawns.
Key ingredients
Large prawns, Yogurt (full-fat, minimal), Qatari spice blend (saffron, cardamom, dried lime powder, ginger, garlic, chili powder), Lemon juice, Olive oil, Salt.
Optional tweaks
Confirm yogurt is minimal and no sugary marinades are used. Ensure no high-carb accompaniments like naan or rice.
Watch out for
Marinades, especially pre-made ones, can contain sugar. Yogurt adds minimal carbs but should be full-fat. Tandoori items are often served with naan bread.
