- Thread shrimp and lime wedges alternately on each skewer.
- Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the chili powder, on both sides.
- Pre heat a grill pan until quite hot. Cook the skewers for about 2 minutes on the first side, and a minute or so on the second side, just until the shrimp are done.

- To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients and mix. Taste to adjust the amount of lime juice.
