1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper
3 tablespoons of cilantro, chopped

Place shrimp on skewers. Grill shrimp on medium until pink. Do not over cook.
Garnish with lime and cilantro.
yes! ginger, teriaki or soy sauce, and orange zest.
your favorite bottled vinagrette works fine -- you can kick it up with some lime and chili powder.
my favorite is just a little olive oil while you grill and then serve with a cilantro pesto -- just put a bunch of cilantro and garlic in a blender with some lime juice and add olive oil until its goopy.
you can probably find better recipes on the internet for cilantro pesto -- im not much of a recipe writer

I like a simple marinade of olive oil and fresh minced garlic, some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow to marinate overnight and thread on some skewers and place on the grill. Drizzle with a little melted butter it's great!
