- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup Dark rum

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dark rum, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring 4-5 shrimp per skewer. Discard the remaining marinade.
Brush the shrimp skewers with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with light char marks.
Transfer the grilled shrimp skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
