Preparation

Step 1

Preheat gril to med-high

Combine yogurt, mint, lime juice for sauce and set aside.

Toss the shrimp in the sesame oil. Add curry powder, salt and pepper, and toss again. This makes a spicy paste on the shrimp.

Thread shrimp onto metal or wooden skewers, bending each to pierce through a good portion of the body. The shrimp should be touching but not pressed tightly.

Grill Shrimp on a clean, well oiled grate, leaving the lid open. Cook until just opaque, 3-4 minutes per side, serve with sauce.
