Instructions: Preheat grill or broiler or grill pan over medium heat.

To prepare Caipirinha: Cut each lime into 6 wedges. Place 2 limes (12 wedges) and sugar in a shaker or a mortar and, using the end of a wooden spoon or a pestle, muddle or mash until the lime pulp begins to come away from the rind and the sugar is dissolved. Add the rum and shake or stir to combine.

To prepare shrimp: Pour Caipirinha mixture, including rinds, into a shallow bowl. Add garlic, oil and shrimp and stir to combine. Set aside for no more than 5 to 7 minutes. (If set aside for too long, the acid in the lime juice will start to cook the shrimp.)

Drain shrimp, discarding the marinade. If desired, skewer the shrimp. Lightly oil grill rack or grill pan and grill the shrimp, turning as necessary, just until pink and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on size.

If desired, sprinkle with mint or cilantro and serve immediately with remaining lime wedges on the side.
