2. Now cover the bowl over and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. Whilst theshrimps are in the refrigerator make sure that you return and stir the mixture a couple of times.
3. Whilst the shrimps are marinating you can get the barbecue going. Place the grill 6 inchesabove the heat source, as you will want to cook the shrimps on a medium heat.
4. After removing the shrimps from the refrigerator thread them on to the skewers piercing eachone through the tail and near the head. Any left over marinade can now be discarded.
5. Just before you place the shrimps on the barbecue lightly oil the grill. Cook the shrimps oneach side for 2 to 3 minutes or they become opaque in color. Then transfer to a clean plate and serve to your guests either as a starter or as a main course with some rice or couscous.
