    10 -12 pre soaked wooded skewers
    MARINADE

    1/2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Preparation
    Start by getting your grill to about a medium heat. Brush the hot grill rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Skewer about 4 shrimp on each pre soaked wooden skewers. Arrange on grill so they do not overlap. Brush with reserved marinade occasionally while cooking. Grill about 7 min on each side, or until shrimp curl tail to head and turn pink.
