Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes; set aside. Coat grill rack with vegetable cooking spray. Place kebobs on grill rack 4 to 6 inches over medium hot coals. Grill, turning once, just until shrimp is opaque, allowing about 3 minutes on each side. Remove shrimp from skewers and arrange over rice; spoon some of the marinade over each serving.
