1/2 t cumin
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t sea salt
1/4 t ground cloves
1/4 t ground cinnamon
4 crushed bay leaves
1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined and peeled
1 small onion, quartered
2 lemons, wedged
1 tomato, wedged

In a large bowl, stir together pine nuts, oil, onion, lemon juice, tomato paste, paprika, allspice, coriander, cumin, salt, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves. http://media-files.gather.com/images/d488/d891/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
Add shrimp to bowl and toss. Marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d489/d891/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Brush skewers with ghee and grill 2-3 minutes on each side, or til shrimp are cooked.

I served the skewers with homemade pitas and cucumbers yogurt sauce.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d487/d891/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
