    Rinse and peel shrimp and set aside. (If desired, keep and freeze shrimp skins to make fish broth).
    Combine oil, lime juice, cilantro, Sha-Zamm seasoning, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Place shrimp in a large ziplock bag, add marinade, and mix well. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
    Place shrimp on skewers and grill for about five minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
    Slightly brown garlic slices in hot oil. Spread over grilled shrimp when serving.
    To make Sha-Zamm seasoning, combine all spices and blend well. Store in a glass jar.
