The secret to the incredible flavor is Wurzpott Curry Red seasoning. Crafted with chili, cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, garlic, and onion, Curry Red seasoning creates a balanced blend of savory warmth and gentle heat that complements shrimp beautifully. The seasoning combines with olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic to create a simple marinade that infuses every bite with bold flavor while allowing the natural sweetness of the shrimp to shine.
One of the reasons this recipe works so well is the speed of cooking. Shrimp require only a few minutes per side on a hot grill, making this one of the easiest high protein meals you can prepare. The quick cooking time also helps preserve the shrimp's tender texture while creating beautiful caramelization and light char that add depth and complexity.
For additional flavor and visual appeal, the shrimp are finished with a cooling Curry Red yogurt drizzle. The creamy yogurt balances the warming spices while adding richness and contrast. Fresh cilantro, lemon wedges, and sliced red chili complete the presentation and bring brightness to every serving.

Directions
Prepare Shrimp Marinade
Pat shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Place shrimp into a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, lemon juice, Curry Red seasoning, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
Do not marinate significantly longer because lemon juice can begin affecting shrimp texture.
If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Prepare Yogurt Drizzle
While shrimp marinates, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Curry Red seasoning in a small bowl.
Whisk until smooth.
Add water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Grill Shrimp
Preheat grill to medium high heat, approximately 425°F.
Lightly oil grill grates if needed.
Thread shrimp onto skewers leaving slight space between shrimp for even cooking.
Place skewers over direct heat.
Cook approximately 2 to 3 minutes on the first side.
Turn skewers and grill another 2 to 3 minutes until shrimp become opaque with light char marks.
Internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Do not overcook shrimp because shrimp can become rubbery very quickly.
Serve and Garnish
Transfer shrimp skewers to a clean platter.
Allow shrimp to rest 1 to 2 minutes.
Drizzle lightly with yogurt sauce or serve alongside for dipping.
Garnish with cilantro, lemon wedges, and sliced red chili if desired.
Suggested serving methods: over basmati rice, with couscous, alongside cucumber salad, grilled vegetables, or tucked into warm pita bread.
Recipe Note
Large shrimp work best because smaller shrimp cook too quickly on the grill.
Patting shrimp dry improves caramelization and grill char.
For spicier shrimp skewers, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the marinade.
For stronger Curry Red flavor, lightly sprinkle additional seasoning over finished shrimp before serving.
These shrimp also cook very well in grill pans or under a broiler if outdoor grilling is unavailable.
The yogurt drizzle adds cooling contrast and balances the warming curry spices beautifully.
