• Add shrimp, cover the refrigerate, allowing shrimp to marinate for as least 2 & not more than 3 hours.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade & set the shrimp aside, discarding everything else.
• Run a skewer through each shrimp, skewering it in the tail area & also in the thicker, upper area, fitting 8 shrimp on a 10-inch skewer. IF USING WOODEN SKEWERS, DO NOT LEAVE ANY GAPS BETWEEN THE SHRIMP!
• Place shewered shrimp on the grill over medium-high heat & grill about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the shells turn bright red & the meat is an even, opaque white.
• Remove shrimp from the grill & serve on a bed of Mango Lime Relish, either skewered or not, as you prefer.
