The combination of hot—from the spices—and cold—from the yogurt—and the chewy texture of the shrimp balls is surprisingly pleasant. The grill heat should be a little lower here to avoid burning, since the grilling time will be slightly longer.

For true luxury add a tablespoon or two of caviar to the mix, and decorate the plate with salmon eggs—but this isn’t necessary.
