GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH CILANTRO-MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Whisk together the chile powder, garam marsala, canola oil, lemon juice in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat in the mixture. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• For the chutney: Combine the cilantro, mint, scallions, chile, 1 tablespoon each honey and canola oil, lime zest, and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Process to make a smooth paste. Taste; add honey, if desired, or more oil to make a sauce that will cling to the shrimp.
• Thread 2 skewers through 3 shrimp so that the shrimp lay flat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Remove the shrimp to a platter and serve with the cilantro-mint chutney.

TANDOORI SHRIMP

Steps:

• Shell and devein the shrimp, leaving the tail part on. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry on towels.
• Combine all the ingredients of the marinade in a large ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss well. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
• Light and prepare a covered charcoal grill until white ash covers the coals and the heat subdues to a moderately hot level. Scatter presoaked grapevine cuttings over the coals. Lightly brush the racks with oil.
• Thread the shrimp alternating with the onions on long thin metal skewers. Brush the shrimp with oil. Place the skewers on the rack. Barbecue, turning them two or three times, until the shrimp are opaque (about six minutes). Slide the shrimp along with the onions off the skewers onto a heated platter. Garnish with lemon slices and coriander sprigs.
