We’ve given these tasty shrimp and watermelon kebabs an Indian flavor profile by seasoning them garam masala, coriander, cumin and cardamom, but they would be equally delicious marinaded with chili powder, citrus or fresh herbs.
Stir together 1/2 teaspoon each paprika, turmeric, kosher salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon each coriander and garam masala and 1/8 teaspoon each cardamom and cumin. Combine 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, 2 teaspoons grated ginger, 1 grated garlic clove and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large bowl; toss well. Sprinkle with the spice mixture. Thread the shrimp, 1 bunch chopped scallions and 2 pounds cubed seedless watermelon onto 8 to 10 skewers. Grill on oiled grates over high heat, flipping halfway, until the shrimp is opaque, 3 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.
