If you use wooden skewers, submerge under water for 30 minutes prior to using to ensure they do not catch fire on the grill. Also, be careful not to leave shrimp in the marinade too long or the acid in the lime juice will ?cook? the shrimp before it has a chance to be grilled. These skewers are good when you are looking for something simple, fresh and fast for dinner.
