Pour marinade over shrimp, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 min. Preheat grill to medium-high while shrimp is marinating. Remove shrimp from marinade and grill for 1 to 2 min. per side. Brush with remaining marinade for last minute of grilling. Place skewers on a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with the salsa.
