This is a quick, simple and delicious dish. The lime juice in the marinade provides a light pickling of the shrimp (ceviche style) which is very nice when grilled. Do not marinade the shrimp for longer than instructed, or the texture will be spoiled. Also, do not skimp on the salt in the marinade, or it will draw flavor out of the shrimp.
Thread the shrimp onto bamboo skewers, piercing each shrimp twice: once through the tail and once through the body. You should be able to fit at least six shrimp on each skewer--many more if the skewers are long. Lay the skewered shrimp flat in a glass pan (or other non-reactive pan). Stir the marinade vigorously and spoon it over the shrimp, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Do not marinade for longer than 30 minutes! Prepare your barbecue for high temperature direct heat grilling. When the the marinade period is complete, place the skewers on the grill directly over the coals. Stir the left over marinade and spoon some over the shrimp to coat with the ground chile. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, spooning more marinade over the shrimp when turned.
