Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. shrimp -- peeled, deveined (21-30 per lb., tails on)

Mojito Marinade (recipe below)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Mint sprigs

Mojito Marinade:

20 mint leaves -- chopped

1/3 cup sugar

1 shallot -- thinly sliced

1/3 cup light rum

3 tablespoons lime juice -- fresh

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon lime zest -- grated

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Directions

Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal and marinate 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove shrimp, reserving marinade. Thread shrimp onto 6 or 7 metal skewers.

Arrange shrimp on grill and baste with marinade (dab some mint and shallot onto shrimp); close lid. Cook until shrimp are just beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn shrimp over, baste again, and close lid.

Cook 1 to 2 minutes until browned but still moist in center. Transfer shrimp to a platter, drizzle with lime juice, and garnish with mint sprigs.

Mojito Marinade: Combine mint leaves, sugar, and shallot. Pound with a wooden spoon to crush coarsely. Whisk in rum, lime juice, oil, lime zest, and salt. Whisk until salt dissolves. Makes about 1 cup, enough for up to 1 1/2 lbs. shrimp.
