- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method
- Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and stir in the oil, lemon juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the glaze and sugar cane skewers.
- Place the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture until thick and syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the sugar cane sticks crosswise on the diagonal into 5-inch sections.
- Halve each section lengthwise.
- The recipe can be prepared several hours ahead to this stage.
- Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
- Using a bamboo skewer, make two starter holes in each shrimp.
- Insert a strip of sugar cane through the holes.
- Skewer the remaining shrimp kebabs the same way.
- Brush and oil the grill grate.
- Grill the shrimp kebabs until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, generously basting with glaze.
- Serve any remaining glaze as a sauce on the side.
