These skewers are a great way to add some spice to your life. The jalapenos give them a nice kick, but it's not too overwhelming.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The skewers were still delicious without it.

I used frozen shrimp for this recipe, and they turned out great. Just be sure to thaw them completely before you cook them.

I wasn't sure how the jalapenos would taste grilled, but they were amazing! They had a smoky flavor that really complemented the shrimp.

The shrimp were a little overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was still great. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
