Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 10 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger (from one 1-inch piece)
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, chopped

20 large shrimp (about 11 ounces)

Gently open each shell, and push some curry paste underneath to coat backs; put shells back in place. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high. Let shrimp stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Grill until shells are charred on one side, about 3 1/2 minutes. Flip, and cook until opaque, about 2 1/2 minutes more.
