1 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 lb. uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 pita breads (6 in), halved
8 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
1 large tomato, thinly sliced

In a small bowl, combine the chutney, lime juice, ginger and curry. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade from the shrimp. Thread shrimp onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill shrimp, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once.
