Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, chopped fresh cilantro, and minced garlic to the marinade.

Place the marinade in a large zip bag with the peeled and deveined shrimp and marinate for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Soak skewers in water to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, spacing them out evenly.

Season the shrimp on the skewers with salt, black pepper, and seafood seasoning before grilling.

Preheat the grill and place the skewers on it, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.

Baste the shrimp with a mixture of melted butter and lemon juice before flipping them.

Cook for a total of about 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and have a slight char.
