1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb large shrimp, peeled with tails on
4 wooden skewers, for grilling

Combine lime juice, oil, cayenne, brown sugar, garlic, and salt; mix well. Rub the shrimp in the spice mixture. Place shrimp and spices in a gallon sized sealable plastic bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Preheat the grill. Remove the shrimp from the bag. Divide the shrimp into 4 servings, inserting a wooden skewer through each serving.

Place the skewers on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp have turned an opaque pink.
