Combine all of the Awesome Margarita ingredients in a large pitcher and stir until the sugar dissolves. Refrigerate.
Preheat broiler or grill.
Put some crushed ice in a glass and sample margarita.
In a glass mixing bowl, mix a 1/4 cup of the Margarita with the oil and chipotle. Season with salt and pepper, add shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, Put some crushed ice in a glass and sample chilling margarita.
Drain the shrimp and arrange on a baking sheet.
Check glass to see if it is in need of refill.
If you are grilling the shrimp, put 2 shrimp on each of the 16 skewers and grill shrimp for 3 minutes, turning once. Or if you are using your oven, broil the shrimp as close to the heat as possible for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until opaque and cooked through. Put 2 shrimp on each of 16 skewers and serve warm or at room temperature with lime wedges.
Go ahead and refill your glass -- you deserve it!
