Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in the lime juice, tequila, Triple Sec and 3 teaspoons lime peel.
  2. Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. dish; cool to room temperature. Freeze for 1 hour; stir with a fork. Freeze 4-5 hours longer or until completely frozen, stirring every 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, oregano, salt and chipotle pepper; add shrimp, tossing to coat. Thread two shrimp onto each of eight soaked wooden appetizer skewers.
  4. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill shrimp, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink.
  5. Stir granita with a fork just before serving; spoon into small glasses. Top with remaining lime peel; serve with skewered shrimp. Yield: 8 servings.
