  1. Assemble skewers using 4 shrimp per skewer. Place skewers in a baking pan or similar vessel.

  3. Preheat a grill to medium. Let the skewers drip excess liquid, then place on the grill grate. (Discard the marinade.) Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the shrimp is lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and serve.
