Instructions

Preheat the oven to a broil setting.
Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, then butterfly each by making a shallow cut down the back.
Process all remaining ingredients in a food processor to create a chili-garlic sauce.
Toss shrimp with the sauce in a bowl and marinate for 5 minutes.
Arrange shrimp on a baking sheet and broil on the top rack for 3 to 4 minutes until sizzling, then flip, spoon over any extra marinade, and broil for another 3 to 4 minutes until opaque.
Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
