Shrimp barbecued in Laziza Masala (for seafood)
Today we are going to barbecue shrimps and chicken. Our friend Babar, he is from Pakistan, got us lots of spice mixes from Canada. He got us different kinds; spices for fish and seafood, chicken etc
Sometimes its ok to use store bought spice mixes, you are allowed to take shortcuts once in a while 
What I do is, I use a little bit of the spice mix and add my own spices to it. This was told to me by Tehsin my dear friend.
Ingredients:
1/4 packet Laziza masala for seafood,
other ingredients listed on the package usually are garlic paste, lemon juice, yoghurt etc
my own spice mix: red chilli powder, garam masala, turmeric (haldi), cumin (jeera) powder (little bit of all this)
salt (if needed)
ofcourse shrimp!!
Let the shrimp (or fish) sit overnite in the marinade. Then for presentation purposes arrange them on skewers alternating with cherry tomatoes/peppers/onion slices. Fire up the grill and barbecue!! Relax and enjoy with your friends and family.
Note: I like a simple menu for a barbecue; hot butter pilaf/jeera rice, salads (one or couple kinds), soup (perfect for cool weather) and fruit for dessert. Simple and wholesome.
