Steps:
- Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat.

Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.

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.
