1.
Set up grill or broiler and preheat to medium-high heat.
2.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the first 10 ingredients. Gradually whisk in the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice and lime juice. Fold in peppers, onions, and garlic, mixing until fully incorporated. Set over medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
3.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, and season with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque and cooked through, about 2 minutes each side. Drizzle the sauce over both sides of the shrimp, reserving left over sauce for dipping. Serve immediately.
