Cooking Directions:

Curried Seasoning: Ahead of cooking, prepare in a small bowl a mix of vegetable oil, salt, pepper and red curry (you can use paprika instead).

Basil and Lemon Seasoning: Ahead of cooking, prepare in a small bowl a mix of vegetable oil, salt, basil and lemon juice. Use this seasoning to season the shrimps while cooking. Before serving dip the shrimps in this seasoning.
Grilling the Shrimp Skewers:
Clean, peel and devein the shrimps.
Thread shrimp tightly on to skewers.
Heat the grill and place the shrimp skewers to grill for about 4 minutes or until the bottom side turns pinkish. With a cooking brush, lightly flavor with the seasoning of your choice.
Flip the skewers and cook for additional 3-4 minutes. Brush with seasoning for best flavor.
When ready, remove from heat and quickly dip them into the seasoning of your choice just before serving.
Tips:
If your grilling event is outdoor, you can prepare the seasoning at home and bring them with you in plastic containers. If you plan using powdered or dried seasonings to dip your shrimps, just put them in small freezing bags and spread them on a plastic dish to easily dip your grilled shrimp skewers.
