Method
In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients except shrimp and citrus wedges. Process until well blended. Transfer to a non-reactive bowl; add shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water; prepare grill. Drain skewers; remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers. Place on an oiled grill rack and grill 2 minutes. Turn shrimp and grill until done, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and serve immediately with lime or lemon wedges.
Notes: Use medium shrimp for appetizers or larger shrimp for a main dish. I like to use 2 skewers, held parallel, then thread shrimp onto both skewers, holding shrimp flat. Parallel skewers make turning the shrimp easier.
Number of Servings: 6 or 10
