Grilled Cilantro Jalapeño Lime Shrimp Skewers is the unicorn of dinner recipes.  It looks and tastes like a special occasion dish, but it's actually a super-easy weeknight meal that you can make in 15 minutes with only 5 ingredients and some skewers!  The magic comes from the Pace® Cilantro Jalapeño Lime Signature Sauce- it seasons both the shrimp and the rice perfectly.  Toss the shrimp with the sauce and fresh cilantro before grilling and stir more sauce into cooked rice right before serving.  Keep the sauce bottle tableside so everyone can add more to taste!
