3 garlic cloves
9g
2 tsp ginger root
4g

4. Grill the Shrimp:
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, if desired.
- Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp cook very quickly.
5. Serve:

- Garnish with additional chopped coriander leaves and lime wedges, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure your shrimp are deveined and peeled before marinating for best results.
