2 tablespoons Gujarati Green Paste
16 to 20 fresh jumbo shrimp (11 to 15 per pound), shelled and deveined, with tails intact
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
4 to 5 metal skewers or wooden skewers soaked in water 30 minutes
2 cups shredded lettuce, such as green or red leaf

1. Prepare the masala paste. Then put the shrimp in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the masala paste, lemon juice, and salt and mix until all the shrimp are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and marinate at least 2 and up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat the grill to medium-high (375°F to 400°F). Line a serving platter with the lettuce. Thread the shrimp on the skewers and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, until lightly charred and opaque. Transfer to the serving platter. Serve hot.
