Instructions

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and stir to combine well. Add the shrimp to the marinade and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for two hours.
Thread the shrimp onto the bamboo skewers and set aside.
Grill the shrimp on both sides until they are cooked and slightly charred on the surface. Baste with oil while grilling.
Remove from the grill, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

If you are baking with oven, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and arrange the shrimp skewers in a single layer. Using a small brush, baste both sides of the shrimp with the oil. Roast for 10 minutes or until the shrimps are cooked. Broil for 1 minute or until the top surface is slightly charred. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges.
