Whisk together the chile powder, garam marsala, canola oil, lemon juice in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Add the shrimp and toss to coat in the mixture.
Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling, high heat.
Combine the cilantro, mint, scallions, chile, 1 tablespoon each honey and canola oil, lime zest, and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Process to make a smooth paste. Taste; add honey, if desired, or more oil to make a sauce that will cling to the shrimp.
