6 large cloves garlic
2 tbsp fresh ginger
2 large shallots
2 green chilies
12 stems fresh cilantro
3-4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard seed

1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
4-8 skewers, depending on the size of the shrimp

Steps:

Cut the garlic, ginger, shallots, green chilies, and cilantro into pieces. Throw them all into a food processor with the olive oil and grind to a paste. Move the paste to a medium-sized bowl and add the red chili powder, salt, mustard seed, and lemon and lime juices. Stir to mix. Mix the shrimp into the paste and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 90 minutes. After marinating, thread shrimp onto skewers and grill over medium heat until shrimp are cooked through and bits of garlic and ginger begin to brown. For less heat, omit the green chilies.
