Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add the shrimp and ensure they are well coated. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Carefully thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers for easy grilling.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook them!
