1
Place all ingredients in a food processor and processs for 30 seconds or until completely blended but no more than one minutes.
2
In a bowl add shrimp and marinade, stirring to combine.
3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to marinade on the counter for 15 minutes but no more than 20 minutes as the vinegar can cause the shrimp to break down.
4
After your grill is heated and clean skewer all of the shrimp leaving no spaces in between the shrimp.
5
Grill on medium high heat for 3 minutes, turn the shrimp over and allow to cook another 2 minutes on the other side.

7
Finally give the lime a good squeeze over the shrimp skewers right before taking them off of the grill.
