Steps:
- Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.
- Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze.
- Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat.

Tips:
- Use large shrimp: Jumbo or large shrimp will hold up better on the skewers and will be easier to eat.
- Peel and devein the shrimp: This will make them easier to eat and will help the marinade to penetrate the shrimp.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to flavor the shrimp and make them more tender.
- Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are easier to handle than metal skewers and will not heat up as much when grilling.
- Soak the skewers in water: Soaking the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling will help to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the shrimp skewers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Cook the shrimp skewers until they are opaque and cooked through: This will usually take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the shrimp skewers immediately: Shrimp skewers are best served hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and mango skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or cookouts, and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your shrimp and mango skewers are perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor.
