Instructions

Add all the ingredients except the shrimp and dipping sauce to a measuring cup or bowl, then whisk until combined.
Add your shrimp in a food storage bag and pour the marinade over the shrimp. If you're using bamboo skewers you'll want to be sure and soak them in water to prevent burning while they're on the grill.
Seal up the bag and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Add the shrimp to your skewers. Place the shrimp on the grill for a few minutes on each side. They cook fast so watch them closely as to not burn them. Garnish the shrimp with fresh cilantro and wedges of lime.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and wedges of lime. Serve along side Lime Cilantro Cauliflower Rice or my Lime Cilantro Broccoli Slaw. You can even serve over a salad with my Avocado Lime Cilantro Ranch Dressing!
