Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 4 hours, refrigerated. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Use tongs or a fork to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place in an even layer in the pan, reserving marinade. Cook the shrimp until well browned on each side, turning once, about 3-4 minutes total. Transfer cooked shrimp to a serving plate. Add reserved marinade to pan, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour over the cooked shrimp and serve with Lime Jasmine Rice and Mango Salsa.
