1. Peel and devein the shrimps, leaving the tails intact. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Combine the yoghurt with the fresh cilantro, mint and salt, to taste. Pour over the shrimps, mix well and leave for 5 minutes.
3. Mix the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, turmeric, cilantro, garam masala and food colouring in a large bowl, add the shrimps and marinate for 10 minutes.
4. Thread the shrimps onto metal skewers and barbecue or grill for about 5 minutes. Turn the skewers once, so the shrimps cook evenly.
They are ready when they start to curl and turn opaque. Serve on skewers or loose with lemon wedges and side dishes.
