Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients, and add the shrimp. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Add the wooden skewers to a pan of warm water and let soak for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven broiler. Line a broiler tray with foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray.

Drain the shrimp from the marinade. Add the marinade to a saucepan and heat to boiling over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer. Thread four shrimp onto a pair of skewers (using two skewers together stabilizes the shrimp as they cook). Broil for 1-2 minutes per side. Add some of the reserved marinade to the shrimp, and broil for 1 more minute. Serve hot or at room temperature.
