Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa

Ingredients:

Preparation:

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 1/2 hour. Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer, threading each shrimp through the tail end and then again through the head end; arrange on a large plate.

In small bowl whisk oil, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, and chili powder until combined; rub over shrimp. Marinate 30 minutes in refrigerator, turning once.

Prepare an outdoor grill or preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp 2.5-3.5 minutes per side until just cooked through. The shrimp will be just barely opaque in thickest part when cut with a knife. Serve with salsa.
