Flip skewers and move to cool side of grill and cook, covered until other side of shrimp is no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and toss with reserved marinade. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out a little too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use half the amount of jalapenos.
