This recipe comes from NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson, who likes to wrap the shrimp in a flour tortilla along with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for a tasty burrito. It's also good served over rice pilaf.

8 (12-inch) wooden or metal skewers
2 pounds unpeeled large fresh shrimp
1/2 cup olive oil
8 to 10 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
lime wedges

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

4. Add shrimp to plastic bag; seal and shake to coat. Chill 20 minutes.
5. Remove shrimp from marinade, discarding marinade. Thread shrimp evenly onto skewers.
6. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 3 minutes on each side or just until shrimp turn pink, basting occasionally with reserved 3 Tbsp. marinade. Serve shrimp with lime wedges.
