Steps:
- To prepare the shrimp, combine the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, green onion, parsley, and cilantro in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Place the shrimp in the fridge, and let them marinate for at least a 1/2 hour, but do not exceed 3 hours. Meanwhile, prepare the rice by sautéing the bacon until it begins to brown in a medium-size sauce pot. Add the onions and the red pepper to the pot and continue to sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and add 4 cups of water. Bring the pot to a simmer and cover. Simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. To cook the shrimp, place the marinated shrimp onto skewers and preheat your grill to medium heat. When it's reached temperature, place the shrimp skewers onto the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. When the water for the rice has completely absorbed, fluff lightly, then stir in the peas, soy sauce, and cilantro. Serve with the shrimp.

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Medium or large shrimp are best for grilling, as they will hold up better to the heat. Smaller shrimp can be used, but they will need to be cooked more carefully to avoid overcooking.
- Prepare your shrimp. Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. You can also butterfly the shrimp by cutting them lengthwise along the back and flattening them out. This will help them cook more evenly.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture. You can also use a store-bought marinade.
- Preheat your grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
- Grill the shrimp. Once the grill is hot, place the shrimp on the grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
- Serve the shrimp. Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for grilled shrimp include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter sauce.

Grilled shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill shrimp that is perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
