Marinate the Shrimp
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss well to ensure all the shrimp are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to permeate.

Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. This step can be done while the shrimp is marinating.

Assemble the Skewers
