1 1/2 pound medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup coconut-flavored rum such as Malibu
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

Prepare curried peanut sauce (see below). Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

In a glass dish, combine shrimp, rum, brown sugar, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce and garlic. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving marinade, and thread them onto flat metal skewers.
