Marinate the shrimp with the passion fruit adobo or marinade ingredients for at least a couple of hours.
Pre-heat the grill.
Put the shrimp on the skewers, for a main meal put 5-6 on each skewer and for an appetizer put 3-4 on each skewer.
Brush the shrimp with the melted butter achiote right before grilling.
Place the shrimp skewers on a hot grill, grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are fully cooked. Baste with the achiote butter as needed. Exact cooking time will vary based on each grill and size of shrimp.
