Toyomansi Shrimp Skewers with Calamansi/Banana Ketchup Glaze

This is another simple shrimp skewer recipe; this time marinating the shrimp in a toyomansi marinade and glazing the skewers in a calamansi/banana ketchup glaze. Make sure to marinate your shrimp for no more than 15 minutes or the acidity of the calamansi will cook the shrimp. We’re not trying to make ceviche. You can use any size shrimp that you want. I recommend using bigger shrimp since they will take a little longer to cook and we’re looking to get a couple layers of glaze on the shrimp. If you use smaller shrimp, you will risk over cooking them and you won’t be able to get a thick glazing upon them.
