Add shrimp; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes to marinate.

Remove shrimp from marinade; thread loosely onto 4 (12- to 14-inch) metal skewers. Reserve marinade.

Place skewered shrimp on grill over medium heat. Cover grill. Cook 3 to 7 minutes, turning once and brushing occasionally with reserved marinade, until shrimp turn pink. Discard any remaining marinade.

I do not have a grill... and I didn't have uncooked shrimp, I just have frozen pre-cooked shrimp. So, I improvised. I heated the shrimp in a saute pan. My shrimp was a little rubbery because it was overcooked... but the flavor was fantastic. I could definitely taste the lime, so if you aren't a fan of lime, you'll want to use less or try a different recipe.
